Craig Haynes rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a bold and flavourful creation from this Sustainable Wine Making Ontario Certified
winery. Deep ruby hues introduced vibrant jammy aromas and flavour of red and dark cherries and currants aromas punctuated with some subtle earthy and spice notes. Approachable tannins and 10 months of wood aging added nicely to the experience. This estate line blend was crafted from cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot harvested from Ontario’s Short Hills Bench appellation. Enjoy.

Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A full bodied Red with notes of dark fruit and chocolate on the nose followed by violet and forest floor. On the palate, dark fruit and tart plum flavours with grippy tannins. Decant before serving or keep it in the wine cellar for 5 to 10 years. Serve with a thick, juicy steak.
