Casa Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Ontario

Casa Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 OntarioI was surprised by the varietal purity of the 2019 Cuve Alexandre Cabernet Sauvignon despite being blended with some 9% Carmenere, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, which probably adds complexity and more Bordeaux character to the bottled wine. But it also has Chilean character, balsamic and round, with good acidity and pungent flavors. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in French oak barrels for 16 months. It's quite classical. 92
