Bought at the Toronto airport en route home from a business trip. I expected it to be awful. Instead, it tastes like a really simple, Bordeaux. Like a (very much not awful) Entre-Deux-Mers.
Blackberries, black current, fresh cracked black pepper, green bell pepper. Medium + body, medium tannin. Short finish and overall simple; but you can definitely tell it's from a cool climate.
For an affordable celebrity wine from an emerging region, I call this a win.

Pay no attention to the hockey player’s name on the bottle; this wine is surprisingly good. It does taste like a Bordeaux. Full-bodied, notes of blackberry and dark ruby coloured.

Quite bitter. Lacks depth and has a short, tannic, finish.
