Stratus - WildAss 2005 Red

Rumour has it that because of the short crop in ’05 and the great growing season that went along with it – Stratus made very little of their second label red; but what they did make ended up being snapped up by the LCBO, so the only place you can pick up this wine is at your local liquor monopoly location on release day (November 22). A blend of four of the five Bordeaux grapes (no Petit Verdot) with the addition of Syrah and Gamay which adds some very interesting aspects to this wine’s flavour...

Kacaba 2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon

Big occasions call for big wines, and that’s where Kacaba’s 2004 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon comes in.

Stoney Ridge 2005 Meritage – Founder’s Sign. Res.

The palate proved a little off-putting with lots and lots of green notes: green pepper, pea pods, green beans and freshly tanned leather – there was also a mercifully short finish that introduced a little cedar and vanilla. 30-minutes later, while cleaning up my tasting lab, I gave th...

Chateau des Charmes 2007 Gamay Noir ‘Droit’

Back in 2002, Chateau des Charmes made my favourite version of their now legendary Gamay Noir ‘Droit’. I think that wine is about to be overshadowed by the 2007 version. Much has been said about the 2007 vintage in Ontario – words and phrases that include “best ever” have been used to describe it … and with wines like this coming out of cellars across the province there’s no wonder. I’m going to tell you two things about this wine you might not believe. 1) the wine is unoaked and 2) the wine...
