Good value in a rustic country wine, from estate vineyards at the winery near Stouffville. This maturing garnet-coloured red shows strawberry-rhubarb fruit, spicy oak and typical baco meaty notes mindful of some French syrahs. It’s mid-weight, actually a bit light for baco, but with very good length. LCBO 620112
