Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, 2016

Tasting Notes: Classic Cabernet Sauvignon varietal character. Black cherry and dark berry fruit intermingled with forest floor earthiness. Cedar and thyme flavours lead to a gamey and leathery finish with fine grained tannins. A big, bold style that’s just going to get better with some age.

Food Pairings: Braise it, stew it, confit or grill it; this Cabernet Sauvignon calls for bravado on a plate. Fine grained tannins and bright acidity provide the perfect backbone to BIG, rich umami driven foods like salt washed cheeses, earthy mushrooms and red meats. Cellaring Potential: Best 2020- 2030.

Winemaker's Production Notes: 2016 was a hot, dry vintage and great for big, bold reds like this one. The Cabernet Sauvignon from this vineyard consistently over-delivers no matter the vintage. One of the warmest sites in the Niagara Peninsula shows with a nice core of fruit, savoury backbone and structure built for ageing.
