NK MIP cellars, Red Meritage, 2016, Canada

I really do like a Canadian red wine, you never get a bad also that’s whats brilliant. This is made from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec which gives red fruit and vanilla notes on the nose and full blackberry and plum flavors with a bit of spice and dark chocolate. The tenants of the structure is good and with a long finish this went well with venison stew.

At £25 a bottle is not cheap, that is part of the Canadian wine issue, great wine but expensive.
