Winemaking Notes: Say hello to the 2025 Ramblers ‘Schmoozer’, a bold yet approachable red blend crafted entirely from estate-grown Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon. Certified sustainable through Sustainable Winegrowing Ontario, this wine continues to reflect responsible viticulture with effortless charm.
On the nose, ripe blackberries, plums, and black cherries lead the way, layered with hints of cassis, baking spice, and subtle earthy undertones. The addition of Cabernet Sauvignon brings a little extra structure and depth, adding lift and definition to the aromatic profile.
The palate is packed with juicy bramble fruit and dark berries, supported by smooth tannins and a medium body that carries through to a rich, fruit-forward finish. Balanced and expressive, it delivers both immediate approachability and just enough backbone to keep things interesting.
Versatile and endlessly charismatic. Whether you are hosting a backyard gathering or winding down after a long day, the 2025 ‘Schmoozer’ is ready to rise to the occasion. Smooth, vibrant, and irresistibly fun, this is the red blend for the true Rambler at heart.
