The sub-title of this wine refers to the 5 grapes that go into a Bordeaux blend: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and ... Petit Verdot ... which is the element least put in, and then usually as seasoning in minute amounts. It's rare you see it on its own and even more so from here in Ontario, which goes to show what a good season we had in 2010. Raspberry, strawberry and pepper on the nose leads to the same on the palate, which balances off with an interesting earthy quality - the best word to describe this wine would be interesting, because it is.
