Guilty Men Malivoire

Quite an interesting name.  I got this as a contribution to a wine and cheese party I threw with some friends, but we didn't get around to it, so I ended up opening it a bit later (and taking notes on the back of a paper placemat).

This is an Ontario wine.  2009 Red VQA Niagara.
12.5 % alcohol.

What is VQA?  VQA stands for Vinters Quality Alliance Act. It's not a branding organization, but rather a regulatory organization.   It is the wine authority of Ontario, I'm guessing sort of like the wine police.

Now on to the wine!
The wine it fairly clear, with a golden/red warm colour.  The inital aromas are of coffee and black pepper.  It's pretty fruity/juicy, with a tannin bite and a dry finish.  I liked it.
