Chateau des Charmes is a winery located on the Niagara Peninsula in Niagara-on-the-Lake. It is owned by the Bosc family, and family of French origins. The winery is best-known for it's reds, and it's old world style.This Cabernet-Merlot is classic bordeaux-blend made up of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Here is my tasting note:
Colour: nice red in colour, going to brick-red towards the edges of the glass.
Nose: lovely currant and black berry aromas. some spice and earth aromas.
Palate: good fruit: currants, black berries and cherries. a nicely balanced cabernet with an excellent structure. nice solid, grippy tannins.
Finish: nice length to the finish.
Conclusion: a very nice wine. worth the $17 canadian i paid for it.
