A bright, ruby-pink blend of pinot noir,
cabernet franc, cab
sauvignon and merlot, it captures the rich, subtle essence of southern France, as well as the liveliness that is characteristic of Ontario’s cooler climate. Layers of berry, along with nuances of pepper, lavender and evergreen. Very good focus and length. www.chateaudescharmes.com.
