Hillebrand Trius Red (V) 2007, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Meritage
Ontario, Canada
$21.95 (303800)
Hillebrand's Trius Red was among the first Bordeaux-blend wines to demonstrate the virtues of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot from Niagara. A consistently well-bred and delicious wine, it displays complex aromas and flavours of cedar, blackcurrant, cherry, plum, vanilla and tobacco, leading to a clean, juicy, medium-long finish. Try it now with grilled sirloin strips and multi-coloured peppers, or serve it with semi-hard Canadian cheeses. Cellar it for 4-6 years to experience its full potential.

Allowed it to decant for 2hrs. Quite a change over the course of two hours. Green/woodsy nose for the first hour, less pronounced later. Mild depth and richness, very tannic - it IS in the Bordeaux style. Everyone's advice is to cellar this wine. Will try again in a few years.

It's actually the 2008 that we have and I think this is a 90. I great wine, dark and red berries and a mild peppery finish. Drank April 2010.

I've had several opportunities to try this wine and I desperately want to like it. But to be very honest, it's a little too green and falls short even after a couple of years in the cellar. The hard to find '07 Trius 'Grand Red' on the other hand is absolutely stunning... Why I ask should the two wines be worlds apart? The answer, in my opinion, and since we are attempting to duplicate Bordeaux here, is that this is Trius' second label and the Grand Red is their Premier Grand Cru. (Northof9finewine, April 2011)
