Kacaba 2006 Sur Lie Horizon Series Chardonnay

Looking for big oak taste without the use of oak, well you’ve found it. Kacaba brings out lots of fun sweet flavours in this dry sipping Chardonnay while the resting on lees adds more depth and complexity to the wine – giving barrel flavours without the use of oak. The nose has plenty of vanilla and caramel, which are wrapped around overripe banana nuances. The taste brings buttery-toffee onto the tongue, with unripe tropical fruit, wrapped up in a vanilla blanket. I didn’t find the acidity t...

Malivoire 2007 Chardonnay Musque “Spritz”

This wine was a favourite summer sipper last year – even if I waited till the early fall to crack my bottle; but what a deliciously fruity number with lots of apples and peaches on the nose and a dash of perfume. The palate follows suit from the smells, but also offers up a little “spritz” on the tongue, while the flavours linger pleasantly afterwards. The spritz doesn’t last long, but the taste certainly does. This one’s fairly sweet, but you’d never guess it because the fizz and the 9% alco...

Malivoire 2005 Moira Chardonnay

A lot of love and care goes into every bottle of Malivoire wine … sure that sounds very Hallmarky, but what else can you say about a wine that receives weekly lees stirring for 8 months (somehow it reminds of that old Dunkin’ Donuts commercial where the guy wakes up every morning and says “I gotta go make the donuts”) … it’s total length of time in barrel is 12 months; so for ¾ of that time it is ceremoniously stirred to unleash flavours like vanilla, melon and tropical fruits – and that’s just ...

Rosehall Run 2006 Chardonnay

Chardonnay lovers should be thrilled to sink their teeth into, or should I say, wrap their palates around, this rich beauty from Rosehall Run in Prince Edward County. When fully aerated, the nose is full of smoky asparagus and reminiscent of buttered movie theatre popcorn (yet with far fewer calories). As it hits the tongue there’s under-ripe peach (you know the crunchy kind), but it smoothes out beautifully through the mouth, then ends with a burnt-toffee-like finish. This is an oaky-smoky C...

Vineland 2005 Sauv Blanc – Rosomel Vineyard

This Sauv Blanc has all the usual suspects of Sauvignon Blanc – the three G’s are present: grassy, gooseberry and grapefruit … it’s fresh and crisp with lots of racy mouth-watering acidity; there’s also some orange blossom and melon flavours littered in and amongst the typicity. In making this wine Brian Schmidt (Vineland’s winemaker) decided to put half of it into French oak for 6 months to round out some of those flavours, and it really worked – this is a delicious, thirst-quenching, yet ver...
