A classic blend of 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc, all harvested from the Four Mile Creek sub-appellation within the Niagara Peninsula. Each varietal was barrel aged separately in 100% French oak barrels for 20 months, prior to creating the final assemblage, and underwent barrel malolactic fermentation. The final assemblage was created by selecting the best single barrel of each varietal that exhibited the greatest depth of extract, structure and complexity. No.99 “The Icon” is only produced in classic red wine vintages (2010, 2012 and 2016).

Deep garnet in colour, with a warm, rich bouquet of dark plum, black cherry, charred wood, blueberry and sweet spice. This full-bodied red wine has firm but not aggressive tannins, and flavours of ripe dark fruits, spice, cocoa and sweet vanilla extract. Notes of black tea, black licorice and cassis linger endlessly on the finish. A wine to savour.
