	Huff Estates 2004 Merlot Reserve Ontario merlot is an interesting creature, it seems to need time in bottle to really develop to its full potential. I find most young Ontario merlots have too much mouth drying tannin to truly make it worth sipping without a big hunk of meat in front of you. Winemaker Frederic Picard worked under award winning winemaker Jean-Pierre Colas at Peninsula Ridge. Jean-Pierre has won a few awards for his merlot over the years and Frederic seems to have taken a few pointers away with him. This wine ... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 185 ]
	Hillebrand Winery 2005 Trius Red This is the very first solo effort of the Hillebrand flagship Trius Red that winemaker Darryl Brooker has shepherded from start to finish – and another fine addition to the Trius catalogue of great wines. Trius is traditionally the name given to Hillebrand’s Bordeaux-blend reserve wines made famous by former winemaker J.L. Groux; under Darryl’s care it’s no different. 14 months in primarily French oak barrels (55% of it new); this 47% Sauv, 43% Franc and 10% Merlot is a wonderful wine from the...

	Tawse Winery 2005 Echos Bistro Red You might have read a little something about this wine in my report on Somewhereness, which Tawse attended and participated in … but let’s recap: Echos is named that way because the wine “echoes” their top-tier wine – same vineyards, same attention to detail, same hand harvesting and sorting, same low yield, same barrel ageing – just when it came time to select the “best” barrels these didn’t make the cut … or better yet, the others were a cut above. Whatever way you say it, this is still one ... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 464 ]
	Rosehall Run 2005 St. Cindy Pinot Noir If you’re a fan of Pinot Noir, you must salivate over the Prince Edward County area because their soils have been compared with the best in Burgundy. Every winery in the county is producing Pinot, trying to make good on the promise of the comparison, but very few are getting it just right. Rosehall Run is one of those who know what their doing, and not trying to “new world” the flavours with their over-extracted fruit flavours and muting of the earthy tones. This St. Cindy Pinot is just what ... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 251 ]
	Rosehall Run 2005 'Cold Creek' Cabernet Franc After fifteen months in French oak, Dan Sullivan (winemaker for Rosehall), declared this wine had seen enough. He bottled it unfiltered, waited a couple of months for the bottle shock to wear off and then released 25 cases (that's 300 bottles) and in truth that just wasn't enough. I'm not talking about the barrel time or the bottle age, I’m talking about the amount released, because there should be more of this to go around – everyone should get a chance to taste this wine. Let's start at the... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 309 ]
