Those who proclaimed the death knell of Merlot back in our cold winters of 13/14 and 14/15 probably didn’t see this coming – another delicious Merlot that’s still hanging on in Ontario. Smoky, mocha, black cherry and charred meat, there’s also a slight earthiness – as with any good Merlot from Ontario this one needs about 2-3 years to settle then it is ready to go.
