Cattail Creek 2006 Select Late Harvest Vidal
An absolutely delicious wine from one of Niagara’s newest wineries in their inaugural vintage. This Select Late Harvest is the second pressing from their icewine grapes, so it has all the lush flavours you’d expect, but only half the sweetness. The nose draws you in with candied fruit like apples, pears, apricots and peaches – but it’s in the mouth where this wine really sells itself. Dried and honeyed fruit: apricots, pineapple, peach, pear; deliciously sweet apple and so much more; you cou...

Tawse Winery 2006 Late Harvest Cabernet
This is an interesting wine for Tawse … originally picked to make an icewine, the sugar levels ended up being too high, and the grapes were slightly botrytis affected. So they bought some extra juice, which they added to bring down the sugar; but that’s against icewine rules, so they made it as this delicious late harvest wine. Now only an 8 or 9 on the sugar code, depending on who you talk to – the smells are unmistakably cherry, and so are the flavours; and wouldn’t you know it, you get choc...

Sandbanks Estate Winery 2005 Winter Harvest Vidal
There are wines to be analyzed and there are wines to be savored. This is the latter. We could go into how this wine was made, when the grapes were harvested, how long they sat in tank or barrel, but let's forgo all that and instead enjoy the fruits of the labor. This wine does not fall into the category of those usual sweet dessert wines, instead this four on the sugar code, is a pleasant little chill and serve for dessert, or with biscotti. The nose has the tell-tale signs of sweet vidal: ...

Huff Estates 2006 First Frost
I’m almost positive this wine was in a bigger bottle last year and as I am writing this review I am looking it up … yes there it is, 750ml bottle, oh but the price was also higher ($22.95) … kudos to Huff for lowering the price along with the bottle size, that renews my faith of honesty in the wine business. Alright enough with my critique about prices and bottle size and on with what you’ll find when you pull the cork on this one. The nose has some great tropical fruit notes of apples, kiwi, ...
