TASTING NOTE: From the sweet spot on the Twenty Mile Bench, on reddish magnesium and dolomitic-limestone clay soils with a solid silt component, this is one of two expressions of the Wismer-Parke Vineyard. This vintage of the Wismer-Parke is a bit more subtle than the 2022 version with a pretty, floral nose, Morello cherries, wild raspberries, a touch of cassis, subtle rhubarb, savoury notes and fine oak spice. It has wonderful texture on the palate with ripe tannins that wrap around the juicy black raspberries, cherries, crunchy pomegranate, forest floor accents and spice with flecks of bloody/iron minerality through a luxurious, long and finessed finish. Can cellar through 2034. Score - 93 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Oct. 31, 2025) Price $ 65.00
