Origin: Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada

Blend: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah 

Notes: A deep nose of black plum, blackberry and mulberry, ripe and full, with hints of bouquet garni herbs, licorice and dark chocolate.

The palate is rich and sleek now but will gain even more fruit as it matures. Glossy but not jammy black fruit, licorice and fresh sage move smoothly through the midpalate and into the long finish.
