WineDiva's Review

Toasted, meaty, savoury.
Township 7's Benchmark Series Reserve 7 is red meritage blend of 56% Merlot 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Cabernet Franc. The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon come from the rocky soils of their Blue Terrace vineyard and the Cabernet Franc from the Raju Vineyard near the border in Osoyoos. The components were aged 12 months in barrel, blended and aged for 12 more months in barrel.
Cherry, vanilla and black current aromas are swirled with espresso, dark chocolate and toasted spice. It has a meaty and smoky character with leather, tart red berry, herbal and charred spice flavours. Acidity and tannic grip are notable; it's a wine that needs food. If drinking now, decant and pair with grilled meats or hard cheeses.
