Description Of all our celebrity wine/wineries that we are amassing here in Ontario Mike Weir’s product continues to be heads and tails above the rest. Could it be the formidable winemaking team of Creekside that has something to do with it? You bet. Power and McDonald continue their impressive run of stellar wines for this label. A nose that's fruit driven with lots of pepper and spice. Tannins are front and center, but they don't detract from the black pepper, black fruit, cinnamon or spice that's also quite apparent. This one is another holder, say 5-plus years, from Weir – a young winery that shows better and better every vintage - and that's saying a lot, because it started out somewhere near the top.
