Game Changer ‘The Obstinate - Red’ 2014
VQA Niagara Peninsula $14.95 (457523) 12.0% alcohol
This engaging red blend—92% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon—dishes up a heady nose of spice and grilled herbs before unleashing a full-fruited surge of black Bing cherry and dark plum compote with wisps of mint along with good tang and mouth-watering acidity. Versatile at the table, pour with all manner of grilled meat. This punches well above the price using game-changing technology. (Vic Harradine)
