RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine: 180 Gamay Noir from Niagara

Aroma: Intense black cherry, raspberry, strawberry and milk chocolate in a light smoky framework. If you like cherry shouting in your face this wine is for you!

Palate: Light on the tannins with charming streaks of cherry, blackberry and faint rhubarb. Oh for just a bit more fruit and we be flirting with spectacular!

Personality: I am out for a good time and will hook you in with my cherry pedigree. But when you look under the hood and taste me you might wish what was on the nose fully carried through on the palate.

Cellarbility: Drink in 2025.

Food Match: Quack. Quack. No not Trump but a duck.

Price: $24 CDN.

RKS 2025 CANADIAN Wine Rating:  90/100.
