This lighter red is a spice box, with ample toasty baking spices infiltrating plum, cherry, tea, and tobacco. Tannins are long and fine, hugging the silken palate through the lingering finish.
This wine originates from our Cave Spring Vineyard, nestled on a gently
sloping terrace of the Niagara Escarpment overlooking Lake Ontario.
A 30-day maceration and fermentation using exclusively indigenous yeast; aged for 11 months in neutral, 225L and 500L oak barrels; minimal sulphur additions.
