Stratus - 2016 Red

Origin: Canada / Niagara Peninsula / Niagara-on-the-Lake

Grapes: 25% Cab Franc, 23% Merlot, 18% Cab Sauv, 12% Syrah, 10% Malbec, 7% Tannat, 5% Petit Verdot

Body: Medium-full

Nose: Savoury & fruity; concentrated dark cherry, plum, cinnamon, clove & violet

Palate: Complex & spicy with notes of anise, pepper, tobacco & tar. Smooth tannins with a long finish.

Notes: This is a delicious, well-rounded "old world-style" wine; it's where I point people who usually turn up their noses at Ontario reds.

Ok for vegans
