Henry of Pelham 'Speck Family Reserve' Baco Noir 2022

Henry of Pelham 'Speck Family Reserve' Baco Noir 2022 is an iconic, deeply expressive, and full-bodied Canadian red wine crafted from old vines planted on the Short Hills Bench in the Niagara Peninsula. Sourced from the Speck family's highest-quality estate blocks and aged in American oak barrels, it displays a dense, dark ruby-purple hue in the glass. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of ripe dark plum, crushed blackberry preserve, sweet cherry, and smoky vanilla, layered with nuances of baking spices, toasted cedar, and subtle black pepper. On the palate, it is smooth, supple, and mouth-coating, featuring concentrated black fruit flavors balanced by lively natural acidity, velvety tannins, and a long, savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with barbecued ribs, braised short ribs, roasted duck breast, grilled venison steak, venison burgers, and sharp aged cheddar cheese.
