WTN: No. 99 Estate Series Cabernet/Merlot 2007

VQA Niagara Peninsula
Wayne Gretzky Estate Winery

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (52 per cent), Cabernet Franc (38) and Merlot.

Purple in the glass.

Spicy, cedar, chocolate on the nose.

Medium weight, cherry, raspberry, currants, blackberries, drying, spicy, high acidity, very rich and intense.

Plummy, spicy, raspberry, currants on the long and mouthwatering finish.

A beautiful wine.

Purchased at $19.95 (Canadian).

If it's "beautiful" at that price, I probably should check it out.

2007 was certainly a year when the Bordeaux varieties could shine in Ontario.
