Description
Lakeview Cellars Grand Reserve 2017
Lakeview Cellars Grand Reserve is a full-bodied Niagara red wine. Smoky and rich nose that exudes deep tobacco, cedar spice and ripe dark berry fruit aromas. Complex palate with medium tannins and a crisp acidity. Black cherry and cassis fruit flavours follow through to an elegant vanilla, mocha and lightly peppered finish.
40% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Syrah. The fruit comes from Lakeview's best vineyards in the Niagara region, kissed by Lake Ontario’s offshore breeze.
Ages for 36 months in American, French and Hunagrian oak barrels.
