Tawse Winery Meritage 2018
Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaThis 2018 Meritage blends 43% cabernet franc, 29% cabernet sauvignon, and 28% merlot, all aged 16 months in French oak. Quite savoury and polished, with red cherry, leather, and cured meats seasoned with a gravelled graphite note. Tannins are now worn with time but are still relatively grippy, housing the shading fruit. This is drinking well now and recommended with roast beef/root veg.Tasted: 02 March 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $60.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
