There must be a superb Ontario Cabernet Sauvignon out there but as my attempt at establishing my Bitcoin empire collapsed with my kidnapping in broad daylight on Toronto’s Bay Street and Wellington with my entire corporation’s capital of $4,679 used to pay my ransom my Bitcoin dream was smashed. I have an idea for electric powered portable ear cleaners and that will take off you bet. Until then I am making waffles at an ice cream joint in Niagara-on-the-Lake and saving for my start up. You will see me on Shark Tank soon.
I was so excited to see a Colio Estate Winery 50 Rows Vineyard 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon and WOWSERS the label states its reserve so it must be extra special. It’s from Harow, Ontario too with beautiful beaches and delicious perch. The epicentre of Canadian wine tourism!
This wine reveals along with 2018 Grand CREW Cabernet Sauvignon (yes from Harrow, Ontario) it is possible to dream the possible dream about Ontario Cabernet Sauvignon!
Aroma: It certainly has that distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon nose! The generous oak gives it a creamy smell. Oozing with blackberry, cassis, black cherry and blueberry.
Palate: Tannic pop which fails to impede the fruit only hold it back for a second or two. Mostly blackberry and cassis with a short peppery finish.
Personality: I am not afraid to say why bother with J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon. I exceed that crowd pleaser and sure as hell you won’t find me in any gas station in Ontario. What did Eddie Money sing…”Take Me Home Tonight”!
Price: $20.
Food Match: Lamb burger.
Cellarbility: This might develop additional character over the next three years.
RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 91/100. Sara d’Amato Wine Align 91.
