Aromas of smoked meat and stewed black fruit; highly extracted I would suspect. A combination of tart and sweetness with a pronounced acidity that will make your mouth water. Interesting, enjoyable, and one of Ontario's more interesting red wines. Serve slightly chilled. Tasted April 2012.

Positives: Medium+ intensity on the nose. I found a lot cranberry with plums, blueberry & light earthy notes of fallen leaves. The nose has pretty violets.

Negatives: The acidity is a light bit high & combined with the low tannins makes this wine a little bit astringent.

Interesting items: One of the last true wines that originated here, & it's still tasteful & unique. Make sure you chill it like a Pinot Noir to get the full flavours of the fruit & drink it from a ballon glass (same as you would do Pinot).

Drink now on its own or pair with Thanksgiving turkey.

Score: 8.5+/10, Value: 9/10, Total; 17.5+/20

Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 3.5

Found some complexity in the nose with some farm, decaying leaf, wood vine, menthol and earth along with blackberry and black cherry. Decent acid, no tannins and a short, juicy finish.
