Description from the Producer
VQA NIAGARA RIVER
TASTING NOTESThis Bordeaux blend displays ripe flavours of red berries, black berries, smoky cedar and a long lasting finish. Firm tannins and ripe fruit will make this an unforgettable wine and a nice candidate for the cellar maturing in another 3 to 5 years. Pair with grilled red meats, roast lamb and grilled vegetables.
VINTAGE & VITICULTUREA cool wet summer originally gave us some concerns about the vintage but patience was rewarded with a hot dry harvest season that allowed grapes to ripen fully.
WINEMAKER’S NOTESVarieties were made individually and the blend is made after the wines are completely fermented out. This vintage carries a higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon due to the heavy loss of Merlot from winter kill. The final blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cab Franc and the blend was then aged in French Hungarian and American Oak for 24 months.
RESIDUAL SUGAR: 3g/L
BRIX AT HARVEST: 22.4
TOTAL ACIDITY: 5.1g/L
AGING IN OAK: 24 months
AGEABILITY: 7-10
