This is an elegant merlot from Featherstone Estates. A fresh berry and cherry aromas and trace floral and smoke scents introduced this wine’s medium bodied palate of berry flavours framed by appealing combination of texture and tannins. Enjoy.

Featherstone's Red Tail Merlot pays homage to the winery's use of falconry to protect their (delicious) crop from swarms of grape eating birds. In fact, Featherstone Estate Winery is the only Ontario winery to embrace this eco-friendly crop management practice, which not only helps them produce great grapes but is also very cool to witness in action.

2017 Red Tail is 100% Merlot from Featherstone Vineyard in the Niagara Peninsula. It's an easy-going and very approachable red that showcases Featherstone's soft and fruity Merlot with tangy cherry, plum, and herbs persisting. For ready to enjoy wines like Red Tail I recommend enjoying it now with roast pork, Thanksgiving meals, artisanal cheese, or on its own. Tasted September 2019. 88 points.
