Cornerfield 2019 Farmer & Frenchmen Red (Ontario Wine Review #448)

A five grape blend that is more than just the sum of its parts

Read it - Watch it - or Both:
 
A five grape blend that's both Hybrid and Vitis based: Petit Pearl and Marquette join Gamay, Cabernet Franc and Merlot to create a port-like nose that doles out deep black fruit, like blackberry, with an interesting cola note. Seemingly thick in the mouth with good acidity, it has a richness (like port) with cassis/kirsch and black cherry ... It's a pretty big red for those who like their reds with a little chew.  Price: $22.00 - Rating: ****
