August 12, 2013 - Medium bodied with a pleasant flavour and a touch of minerality. Drinking well now after only a brief airing in the decanter.

January 23, 2012 - A lovely Niagara blend. Decanted for an hour. Aromas of dark dry fruit (blackberries, cranberries etc) with hint of cedar. Not overly powering. The deep garnet colouring showed the strength of the blend is Merlot and Cab Fran. Well balnced wine, yet it's fruit taste was a little bit behind the rest of the group. Very good value. Will be looking forward to trying the 2010 vintage.
