| TASTING NOTE: A blend of Merlot (62%) and Cabernet Franc (38%) harvested from 13th Street's Lakeshore and June's vineyards in the Creek Shores sub-appellation of the Niagara Peninsula, the 2016 vintage of this always- popular wine serves up vibrant red cherry and berry fruit embroidered by spicy, savoury, smoky notes. Nicely balanced from start to finish. Incredible value. (Vintages panel, March 2017) |
