Plums, spices, a bit of earthiness and lead pencil shavings on the nose. Plenty of juicy fruit and soft tannins on this medium-bodied wine. Long aftertaste. Overall, an absolutely incredible wine at this price.

This has none of the harsh taste I associate with Ontario red wine. Great value, I want more of this one.

Enjoyable and reasonably priced. What more needs to be said? Tasted December 2011.

A great Cab Merlot blend from Ontario. Complements well with BBQ steak, ribs too!
