Allan Jackson (yes that Allan Jackson) loves Port and calls this 6 year in barrel Cabernet and Merlot based Tawny 'a labour of love' ... it's not just the dried cherry and cranberr y that passes pleasantly over the palate - it has outstanding acidity to balance the sweetness - this elixir is a real beauty and stunning value for the price. For fun and freshness a small percentage of Syrah was added back into the blend before bottling - lifting the fruit a tad ... nice decision. One of the best Port-style wines to come out of Ontario, possibly ever. This style of wine is not only under-appreciated but this version is under-priced too (but shh, don't tell...). Score - 4.5 Stars (out of 5). (Michael Pinkus, ontariowinereview.com, Oct. 16, 2013) Show more
