The distinctive red Trafalgar clay loam of the Red Paw Vineyard is rather scarce in the Niagara-on-the-Lake region. Formed by the weathering of the underlying Queenston shale bedrock, this soil is particularly old (450 million years). Stony, rich in iron (hence the red color), with little organic content, this soil is particularly infertile, and thus quite good for growing premium wine grapes. The nose shows black cherry, strawberry, and lovely spices. It's quite rich on the palate with integrated red fruits, a silky feel and ripe tannic structure. Score - 89.
