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.

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

dark, medium bodied, cherry, vanilla, some acidity at the end reminiscent of an Italian style wine
