	Hillebrand 2007 Trius Merlot Talk about slipping in un-noticed, when I asked winemaker Darryl Brooker about this one, he said, “Is it out already?” A little rushed to market, he admitted, to keep the LCBO listing intact (the LCBO has a use it or lose it policy); this 2007 Trius Merlot is stunning and shows what the “best vintage ever” will be producing.

	Hillebrand 2005 Trius Cabernet Franc As Hillebrand waited for their 2004 Cabernet Franc to sell through, the 2005 edition just got better and better as it aged in bottle.

This reserve spent 20 months in 3 year old French oak barrels. Owner Harvey Hollingshead said its his best Franc to date. When asked how it compared to the 2002 he balks and says, “in ’02 the vines were too young to withstand the ... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 149 ]
	Ridgepoint Wines 2005 Cabernet Merlot Winemaker Arthur Harder is still plying his trade at Ridgepoint, and although he’s most noted as a white wine maker, he also makes decent and consistently good reds. Take this ’05 Cabernet Merlot for instance. The nose is full on juicy black cherry and blackberries and that juiciness follows through with more black cherry and a hint of woodsy tannin bite that leaves a little bit of dustiness behind on the tongue. This wine really is a gulpable beauty that I finished (with a little help – very... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 35 ]
