Coyote's Run Cabernet/Merlot 2012

As the regular 2012 reds begin their arrival excitement begins to mount for, what could be, some of the best reds Ontario has ever offered ... of course that statement must have a caveat: as long as your winemaker knows what he's doing. Dave Sheppard's been doing wine in Ontario for 30+ years so he's got plenty of experience under his belt, and for this 2012 he's done a great job of melding the fruit and tannins together with vanilla, smoky and cinnamon notes - there's lots of delicious layers and texture to this wine. A great value red and widely available. Score - 4+ Stars out of 5. (Michael Pinkus, ontariowinereview.com, Jan. 2014)
