Lailey Vineyard 2005 Cabernet

What’s the recipe for a truly good Cabernet blend, let’s poke through the Lailey cookbook and see: 49% Cabernet Franc, 49% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot (just a dash), let it rest for 1 year in 1 year-old oak and voila. Follow this recipe and you too might have yourself a tasty Cabernet with spicy black fruit nuances, black pepper attributes and hints of cinnamon - and that’s just the nose. In the mouth, you’ll be wowed by the sweet red fruit in the mid-palate, good tannin structure throug...

Henry of Pelham 2004 Merlot Reserve

When somebody comes at me with a bottle of 2004 wine from Ontario, I am apt to say, “eah” and shrug my shoulders – not a great year, not a horrible year, just ‘eah’ (sounds like ‘yeah’ without the ‘y’).

Henry of Pelham 2006 Reserve Pinot Noir

Here’s a tasty Pinot that has the colour of light cranberry juice … but don’t be afraid, that’s how it’s supposed to be. What this wine lacks in depth of colour, it gets back in depth of character and flavour. The usual tell-tale signs of good Pinot Noir are there – the earthy aromas and tastes – but there is also plenty of black-sour-cherries as it courses through your mouth, which leads to a mild-earthy finish. Finally, there’s a cheek sucking aspect to this wine, which (if done) will revea...

Sprucewood Shores 2005 Meritage

As one of the Lake Erie North Shores newest wineries you really don’t expect much to come out of the doors at this early stage that can compete with the already established wineries of the region – factor in the jeunesse of their winemaker and you’d expect decent, but not spectacular wines to be emerging from the cellar door. But what you expect and what is happening are two different things; take this Meritage for instance: The wine spent 18 months in oak, and an additional 5 months in bottle...
