KEW SOLDIER’S GRANT 2023 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula

Soldier’s Grant is a blend of 38% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot, made partially in the appassimento process and matured in French oak for eighteen months. The oak does present an obvious, resinous/varnished note on the nose here atop the ripe currant/raspberry fruit. Also considerable herbality. It is medium-full bodied, warm, shrubby and earthy on the palate. And quite tannic now. Excellent length! I would cellar this about three years – it could go ten, and the oak will subside. Tasted Nov. 2025. Score: 90 (David

LEANING POST CUVÉE WINONA 2022 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula The Merlot for this blend was fermented in an open-top stainless steel tank while the Cabernet Franc was fermented in concrete. Both were aged 14 months in oak barrels before being blended and then bottled unfined and unfiltered. The result is a ripe, broad-shouldered wine with lifted floral tones atop cassis, blackberry, raspberry, savoury Cab Franc herbal notes, chocolate, and graphite edged minerality. Drink through 2030.
