Tasting notes

An elegant expression of finesse and charm, this vintage opens with delicate floral aromas that lead into a vibrant palate of raspberry and subtle vanilla undertones. Silky texture and refined balance make it a graceful and lingering experience.

Food pairing

Pair with Slow Braised Beef Short Rib or smoked Brisket

93 Points - Rick Vansickle, September 2025

I love this wine!

The Temptress lives up to its name — bold, fragrant, and instantly inviting. Ripe black cherry, plum, and blueberry spill from the glass, wrapped in warm spice and a touch of mocha. The palate is plush yet lively, with smooth tannins and just the right lift of acidity to keep things balanced.

It’s a crowd-pleasing red that works beautifully on its own, but it really comes alive with food. Think grilled lamb chops, peppercorn steak, or even a smoky BBQ brisket. The richness and fruit depth make it wonderfully versatile.

A delicious, modern Ontario red that delivers serious value in the glass especially on a cold winter night.
