"This complex red blend shows spiced cherry fruit alongside fresh herbs, graphite, and balanced oak. Approachable now, with fine-grained tannins and an attractive juiciness. Impressive value."
90 points - Geoffrey Moss MW, WineAlign 2023
This Bordeaux blend was carefully sourced from select Niagara Peninsula vineyards and spent 16 months in French oak barrels. On the nose, this Cabernet Merlot entices you with aromas of currant, blackberry, roasted herbs, sweet tobacco, and underbrush. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied, juicy and bright, and the finish is well-balanced by crisp acidity and light dusty tannins. This Medium-bodied red is delightful to pair with. Try with a classic spaghetti Bolognese, grilled pork chops, barbequed top-sirloin steak with creamy mashed potatoes.

Tawse Winery
Situated on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment, Tawse is a family-owned organic winery. A life-long lover of wine, Burgundy in particular, founder Moray Tawse purchased the Cherry Avenue property in 2001 after realizing the great potential of the Niagara Escarpment as a word-class cool-climate wine region. In 2005, he opened his state-of-the-art winery in Vineland, complete with a six-level, gravity-flow design, geo-thermal system and a wetland bio-filter.
The inspiration for Moray’s eponymous Niagara property came from his love of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Uniting traditional winemaking techniques with state-of-the-art technology, Tawse and the award-winning winemaking team of Paul Pender and Rene Van Ede, is dedicated to producing terroir-driven wines of exceptional elegance, depth and character.
At Tawse, winemaking begins in the vineyards. We proudly apply rigorous organic methods to every aspect of our production from grape-growing to winemaking and Ecocert seals appear on all wines made from our estate fruit.
Today, having acquired over 200 acres (5 vineyards) and being named Canadian Winery of the year in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2016, Tawse Winery now produces 30,000 cases of wine and has one of the largest portfolios of organic wines in the Niagara region.
