Château des Charmes 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon St. David's Bench Vineyard

St. David's Bench, Niagara Peninsula

$34.95

Winemaker Amélie Boury continues to quietly and confidently turn out an extensive portfolio of quality estate wines from Château des Charmes in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This is a classic expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, with solid structure, bright acidity and youthful tannins. We used to call this an Old World style back when wine lovers knew the staid, stately and age-worthy character of Bordeaux reds as much as riper, fruity, fleshier expressions from California, Australia or other so-called New World regions. The mix of dark fruit, savoury notes and oak spice are on point. Drink now to 2026. 488 cases. (90/100)
