	Cox Creek Chestnut Barrel Pinot Noir I always like a winery that takes a risk and tries something new, even if it doesn’t work. Fortunately, for you and me, this little experiment does succeed. Cox Creek takes Pinot Noir and ages it in Chestnut Barrels, as opposed to the usual oak. The result is an interesting wine that takes on some of the natural nuttiness from the wood. The nose is wonderful with hints of dark chocolate covered cherries and strawberries along with some subtle earthiness. Even better is the taste, lightly nu... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 116 ]
	Ridgepoint Wines 2004 Merlot If you’re a fan of Merlot (except Myles who isn’t), you probably don’t drink a lot of young Ontario Merlot, unless you like your Merlot to bite back. Which is why this Merlot from Ridgepoint is so surprising. It lacks the greenness and goes for a more light and lively Chilean-style: ready-to-drink-now and over the next 2 to 3 years. Lots of dark fruit on the nose, like black currants and cherries; and what you get on the nose you’ll get in the mouth, along with a slight drying sensation, wit... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 171 ]
	Ridgepoint Wines 2004 Cabernet Merlot A decidedly good effort for their first blend. 2004, was a light year, as far as concentration of flavours, and Ridgepoint made the best of it, producing this light and simple sipper. Red pepper, strawberry and blackberry on the nose; with blackberry, cassis, and an interesting finish of dark cocoa in the mouth. Lightly chilled, or at room temperature, it really makes no difference, and neither does the time of day or year, it’s a great anytime wine … so sit back, relax and enjoy....

	Peninsula Ridge 2002 Cabernet Franc There’s lots going on in this bottle of Cabernet Franc from Ontario’s big 2002 vintage, so let’s get right down to it. The nose is red fruit oriented with some raspberry and cherry, but there’s also some sweet spice notes like cinnamon and cardamom and hints of cedar … a very pleasant mixture. In the mouth, it’s still a little closed up. I’m expecting it to open up in the next few years, but right now, it’s showing hints of the raspberry and cedar from the nose along with some blackberry and ... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 140 ]
	Peninsula Ridge 2002 Cabernet This wine has a “je ne sais quoi” quality to it, mainly because those with whom I tasted it couldn’t put our collective fingers on just exactly what it was that we liked about it – except that we liked it very much. Could it be the black cherry or the sweet red and yellow pepper nose; maybe it was the raspberry, cranberry and dark fruit laden taste. Maybe it was the easy drinking nature of the wine; the smooth spiciness in the mouth, or how it didn’t seem too dry, but definitely not sweet eit... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 126 ]
