Wine Reviewed
Dalton Canaan Red Kosher 2011 14 % alcohol about $15.
In the absence of marketing materials let’s start by quoting the side label. “Red Canaan, a blend of several varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Syrah, is a medium bodied red wine bursting with flavours of forest fruit, berries and hints of vanilla and cloves. Canaan is an easy drinking wine and can be enjoyed with most types of food. Recommended serving temperature 16-18ºC (61-64º F).” And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was long and well balanced. When paired with slow-cooked round steak offered great length. I got black cherries but it was a bit too sweet. Chickpeas brought out round plums in the blend. The accompanying potatoes gave the libation round plums. When I doused a generous amount of Chinese hot sauce on the meat the drink thinned but was still semi-powerful. Fresh pineapple took away almost all the acidity in my glass, replaced by some metal.
