Description
This wine is a varietal blend of Cabernet, Zinfandel and Syrah
Cabernet brings its signature blackcurrant flavours, ample acid and tannin. Zinfandel adds jammy berries, with Syrah contributing plum and pepper. Together they make a bold wine with abundant berry flavours and rich tannins.
During this 6-month steep, the juice absorbs flavours and tannin from the whisky oak, adding roundness to the body, elevating tannin, and infusing it with nuanced sweet spice, brown sugar and vanilla character.
These whisky-influenced sweet notes round out a bold wine rich with flavours of blackcurrant, jammy wildberry and plum, underlaid with mocha, spice, and smoky toasted notes
THE OAK: In a Winexpert first- the juice for this limited release was pre-oaked in-house, steeping for several months with whisky oak chips specially sourced from the Wayne Gretzky Estates Winery and Distillery located in Niagara On The Lake, Ontario. The oak is from barrels used in the distillery’s whisky production!
