A lifted nose of ripe damson plum, chocolate, tobacco leaf and swiss herb candy. The palate is dry, concentrated and finishes bright and juicy.
A modern example of Pinot Noir, showing dried black cherry, black tea, dried cranberry, and swiss herb candy with a whiff of pipe smoke.
The Cabernet Franc was near perfect, so we left it fresh; we didn't feel the need to dry.
There is an intense plum and black cherry that moves into a hint of roasted pepper and pickling spice.
This is another example of the epic 2017 vintage. The nose is powerful and just starting to develop.
Ripe red and blue fruit, almost Zinfandel in character, with a touch of pipe tobacco and roasted dill. The palate is dry, with that Niagara Merlot grip, and finishes fresh with a touch of oak and alcohol sweetness. The alcohol is noticeable on the breath, not so much on the palate
This is a very pleasing wine that most people would enjoy. The nose is generous and intense, showing plenty of ripe and jammy black, blue and red fruit with balancing oak aromas. The palate is dry, rich and the acidity balanced the alcohol nicely. This is a steak wine for sure.
