mid-weight, darkly fruited with some noted but well-judged oak, Certainly cool climate but not at all unripe, thanks to the excellent vintage. Add in the deft winemaking hand of JP Colas, and here you have a fine reasonably priced Niagara red. For current consumption or holding a few years. Tasted Nov 2022.
Aromas of black current with a hint of herbs.
Firm tannin that works well with a charcuterie.
Overall it was a nice wine, but not too complexed. Good for under $20.
