Jackson-Triggs Proprietors' Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Ontario fills this Cabernet bottle. The fruit is not all local.
Black currant and cherry show first. Cassis and cherry compote follow on the palate. Strength sits at 12.5 percent. Sweetness is 8 grams per litre, inside a 750 ml bottle.
Arterra Wines Canada owns the brand. A teachers' pension fund bought that Canadian business in 2016. Ownership stays here. The vineyard fruit does not.
The shop note points to braised beef or game. Skip the 1.5 litre. That is another pack of the same red.
