On the nose I was smelling cassis and raspberry. I was tasting a well balanced wine. Great dark fruit flavors and smooth tannins. At this point I had to double check the price ($19.95). I was surprised to get a wine with this flavor and this balance at this price point. I was also surprised that as I type this that the LCBO had over 4500 bottles remaining. This is too good and it seems like people are unaware of what is sitting in front of them.
One thing I will add. I see no reason to decant. Over 2 hours the wine did not improve. Overall, I am happy with this wine.

Always a solid choice, I found this year's vintage a little more off-dry than I recall in previous years. Otherwise, a good expression of the variety and nice value.
