By no means was '08 an easy red wine vintage in Ontario, but Ann Sperling and her team have pulled of a minor miracle. I credit this to the biodynamic practices that are in place at the Southbrook. This blend of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 26% Franc possesses a deep cherry colour and a profile of plums, tobacco smoke, spice, flowers, vanilla and pencil shavings. Medium bodied and elegantly styled, there are some noticeable tannins. Drink over the next 3 years.
