From one of my favorite wineries in Niagara, Trius Winery let us discover this amazing 2012 East Block Cabernet Sauvignon. 2012 was a great year in Niagara. Ripened at maximum, this Cab Sauv his an amazing show of force! Wonderfull deep ruby with a nice garnet rim, this aromatic wine perfumes the glass with ripe blackberry, dark plum, violet, black tea, coffee, oak lether and truffle; omg tell me when to stop!! Such aroma will make you impatient to taste …

Aromas of tobacco, red fruit, light toasted notes. On the palate more tobacco and raspberries. Cigar box and cooking spices. Still some tannin structure, but it has substantially softened from it's purchase date. Long finish.
