Mike Weir Wine
2007 Cabernet Merlot VQA

2007 Cabernet Merlot VQA
Size: 750mL
Description: 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc
Sugar: Dry (0)

Tasting Notes: The harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc make a balanced and well-structured medium-bodied red, the flagship of the Mike Weir Wine portfolio. Raspberries, cassis and dark chocolate meld together forming a savoury mouth feel while providing a plush tannic dry finish. The pleasing interplay between fruit, tannin and acidity with smooth rounded texture on the palate, allows this wonderful Meritage to pair well with many dishes. Enjoy with beef, lamb, duck and aged cheeses.

Technical Notes: The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc were harvested in mid-October exclusively from the magnificent vineyards of Chateau des Charmes in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The low precipitation in 2007 produced a vintage with intense and concentrated fruit flavours. Small batch fermentation with hand punchdown of the cap, was followed by 12 months barrel aging in Allier and Troncais oak. The varietal composition of the cuvee is 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, lending to the tannic structure and backbone; 20% Merlot, contributing to the ripe fruit velvety flavour and texture; and 17% Cabernet Franc, adding to the fleshy round mouth feel.

Aging:This wine is can be enjoyed now and will continue to develop for 2-5 years.
