Vines planted in 1989 and for the purpose of this wine, thinned to 2 tons to the acre – then aged 30 months in oak and bottled unfiltered … concentrated red and black berry namely plum, blackberry, with vanilla notes and sweet dark fruit on the finish … Ontario Merlot needs time to develop and while this wine lacks finesse and complexity now it really is a wait and see wine.  Price: $100 – Rating: ***
