What to Expect
Merlot has gotten a bad rap as of late but there is no denying the wine's appeal. Packed with deep, dark berry fruit and nuanced hints of cocoa, herb and earth with a soft structure. Its velvety texture makes Merlot instantly appealing and an obvious alternative to similar, more tannic Bordeaux varieties.

Source: BottleCount
A massive red, almost brooding in depth, that shows what Ontario's warmest wine region can deliver, especially in a great year like 2002. The dark ripe fruit is only part of the picture, because this shows great equilibrium in tannins and acidity. Overall, a stylish and bold Merlot at a great price. Drink it now with a hunk of medium-rare red meat, or stash it away for another five to ten years. (RP)
