Lakeview Cellars 2017 Malbec (Ontario Wine Review #450)

Malbec? in Ontario? Yes it can be made, and it can be made well - I give you exhibit A :
 
Lakeview Cellars 2017 Malbec 
 
($34.75 - available at the winery and online)
 
 
 
The Written Review ... 
 
Hard to see an Ontario Malbec from a vintage that had no hope in hell of ripening that grape ... until September that is – that’s when things started to turn around. Very dark fruited with its blackberry and black cherry core and a mocha linger. It’s a surprising and very delicious wine from a miracle of a vintage.  Price: $34.75 - Rating: ****
