Description Holy quaffable wine Batman have we got one for you! Over the past few years the OntarioWineReview staff has been keeping it’s eye on this family-owned winery north of Toronto. Some wineries that win lots of awards with their high-end wines make value priced drinkers that are stinkers – but not this one. This 2001 Cab-Merlot hits all the right spots … smells of fresh red pepper in the glass which delivers equally on the palate – and there’s a hint of tannin backbone that makes this one ideal for the coming BBQ season or quaffing on its own (one of our panel even mentioned that they would like to see what happens to the wine in 6 months to a year). Head to Southbrook and buy a case, or two, cause this one is definitely a crowd pleaser.
