These guys (Stratus) persuaded me that you could achieve excellence in Ontario with their 2007. The remarkable thing here is that under challenging conditions they pulled it off in 2008 again!
To be enjoyed with local pride!
One of the few 2008 Niagara reds that I bought 'in bulk' and have tasted several times. Tried another today...full of flavor and tannins, but easily matches with food.
I will save the rest as DL suggests and try the rest 2014-2018...if the promising flavors meld as it mellows this will be a show-stopper in a few years.
