	Aleksander Estate Winery 2005 Cabernet Franc Opened for just over a year now, Aleksander shows much promise as a winery. When I visited last year, they had 4 wines on the shelf: a white, a red and two fruit wines. Now their shelves are brimming with a wide range of wines one for every taste and budget; the fruit wines are also still around. But let’s focus for the moment on their Cabernet Franc. I am noticing, during my visit in August ‘06, that the ’05’s are starting to come out; in fact, down in the Lake Erie North Shore area, many ... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 335 ]
	Pillitteri Estates Winery 2002 Merlot Reserve I was in a tasting room when I sampled this one, and one of my fellow tasters said, “I hate that typical Ontario green pepper smell and taste in this wine.” I looked over at him a bit confused – having already tasted this wine and having found no hint of green pepper what-so-ever – had I missed something? I had to be sure … so back I went to re-taste. Smell: blackberry, cherry, plum, spice, oregano, chocolate – no green pepper. Taste: follows nose and changes those straight cherry aromas to...

	Pelee Island Winery 2005 Vinedressers Shiraz In my family, August is a big month – there are at least 2 birthdays and three anniversaries to contend with; that’s why somewhere in the middle of the month, we have “the family BBQ” to celebrate everything all at once. At this event, we sit around on the patio and everybody catches up, shoots the breeze and inevitably wine questions get thrown my way. Unfortunately, this year the outdoor part was rained out, but the wine questions flew fast and furious. One from my brother seemed well timed... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 183 ]
	Creekside 2002 Cabernet Merlot When the awards were announce, we ran out to buy a bottle of something you could get pretty readily to see what the hype was about. Combine the award with the fact that it’s from the stellar 2002 vintage and we expected something really good from this wine, and we got it! With definite smells of strawberry, blackberry and raspberry intermingled with some oak and hints of green veggie in the background; namely green pepper (but it is so mild that it is easy to overlook). Raspberry is the predo... Rating: 4,00 (1 Votes) [Hits: 315 ]
	Coyote’s Run 2004 Cabernet Franc Let’s forget for a moment the cute trotting coyote on the label and focus in on this delicious Cabernet Franc from, what many see as, a difficult vintage in Niagara, from one of Niagara-on-the-Lake’s newer wineries. The nose of strawberry, raspberry and blueberry accosts the nose first mixing all the fruit up and blending them like a smoothie … then there’s some vegetable in the mix, not the usual green pepper, something more subtle – celery. The taste is just as interesting. Smooth and velve... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 280 ]
