RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine: Big Head Red #11

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , ,

Big Head Red #11 is a blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Dornfelder from three different vintages and a combination of fresh and appassimento wines.

Following this vintage for 3 releases now it is a blend one looks forward to.

Aroma: Black fruit galore complimented by raspberry and mocha. A bit reminiscent of a high-end Australian Shiraz if I don’t say so. Solid, meaty and serious.

Palate: Intense, deep with a tight structure and enormous discipline. Mildly tannic. Solid mouthfeel. Absolutely no loose ends. It has been aged in French oak but is so clean and unadulterated I initially thought aged in concrete.

Personality: I proudly proclaim I have a uniqueness to me. At my price and quality you will find me difficult to beat. You are beginning to see Big Head at some very pricey high-end restaurants in Ontario and their wine is rather dear but this wine at this price is an opportunity to luxuriate at a modest price.

Provincial Election Match: Avoid all politico ads when consuming this wine and by golly avoid that Trump, Moron Tusk and his gang of bully crazed wreckers.

Cellarbility: Enjoy up to 2027.

Price: $25 CDN.

RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine Rating: 94/100.
