The alcohol on this Merlot is high for Ontario (14%), not that surprising considering it came from the hot '07 vintage. Besides the abnormal alcohol content the rest of this wine is a pure pleasure: smoked raspberry, vanilla, cinnamon and cocoa. Good acidity makes it a food friendly wine nice grip from those tannins, and it’s gonna be ageable for 5+ years. Price: $17.95 - Rating: **** +
