Ravine Meritage 2020
Aromas on this wine are rich, ripe and extremely inviting.
Flavours of currants, black cherry, subtle hints of coffee and chocolate are present with subtle earthy tones of cedar, leather and sweet hay.
The body is medium to heavy, round, silky and finishes dry. The tannins provide a dry finish yet the wine carries the fruit up front and holds the controlled amount of acidity at the back creating a very well rounded wine.

Winemaker Notes
The 2020 vintage was pretty much a perfectly conducted
growing season and ripening season by mother nature. This
red blend was aged for 18 months in oak. This Meritage is a
blend of our favourite Bordeaux reds from the Niagara on
the lake appellations as well as from our estate to create a
complete red blend that showcases ripeness, structure, ripe
red fruit, and some earthy elegance.
Food Pairing Notes
Our 2020 Meritage pairs great roasted lamb, ribs, burgers,
firm aged cheeses or pasta bolognese.
