TASTING NOTES

Redmark captures whisky’s unmistakable mark, leaving a lasting impression on this bold Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah blend. For this limited release, an exciting first for VineCo the juice was pre-oaked in-house, steeped for six months with local Niagara whisky oak chips*.

Steeping the juice with whisky oak chips adds depth and structure, enhancing tannins while rounding the palate and layering in notes of sweet spice and brown sugar. The result is a confident, full-bodied wine where Cabernet’s dark blackcurrant and plum meet Syrah’s ripe wildberry and savory spice. The blend finishes with hints of mocha, vanilla, and a gentle wisp of smoky toasted oak- an unmistakable mark that lingers long after the last sip.

FOOD PAIRING

Pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, braised short ribs, or lamb chops, where the wine’s structure complements rich, savory flavors. Its depth also enhances dishes like mushroom risotto or aged cheeses such as cheddar and gouda. For a finishing touch, try alongside dark chocolate or cocoa-based dishes to highlight its layered complexity.

*Whisky oak is not included. Redmark is steeped with Whisky oak chips prior to being added to the craft winemaking kit, allowing the juice to absorb flavor from the wood over the course of several months enhancing the profile. Though this product does include oak chips and cubes, no whisky oak is included in this kit.
