Lakeview Grand Reserve Red 2020

Comprising specially selected barrels of 35% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Syrah, this complex, engaging wine is a nice mix of charming and bold. It shows well-defined ripe dark berry, cherry, cassis, cedar, vanilla, and oak spice, with some chocolate rounding out the aromas and flavours. Firm and food-friendly, it will pair well with mushroom risotto or grilled steak. Drink through 2028. (nataliemaclean.com,May 12, 2022)
