  Clear deep ruby; clean medium plus nose of plums, red cherries, wood, leather and baking spices; dry; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; high alcohol; medium body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter with dried fruit, green pepper, cocoa and coffee; medium plus finish; drink now; really amazing effort from the Stratus team showing the potential for aged Ontario wines

  Black ruby red crossed with plum colour. Quite opaque in the glass. Pretty powerful and savoury raspberry, mullberry nose with some cowhide and a hint of nutmeg. Good fruit texture in the mouth, tangy acidity, smooth tannins with a dry finish. Flavours are more on the mullberry, boysenberry side. Medium bodied. Acid is a touch on the high side when cool but settles back as it warms up. Good overall savoury purple fruit flavours. No real meaty or animally notes; just savouriness. Very smooth. Solid 92 pointer.

  Decent Syrah which is surprisingly from Canada. Medium bodied with typical Syrah qualities.

  Great wine, very fruit forward, crisp and very balanced. Dark fruits, tobacco and leather.
