Marynissen Estates 2002 Cabernet/Merlot

Marynissen has quietly gone about making good to great old-world style wines for a number of years now. According to sources they were the first to plant Cabernet Sauvignon in Canada (1978) and the seventh winery in the Niagara area. That all said I have become a big fan of their ‘old-world-style’ – what I mean by that is ageworthy reds that aren’t quite ready for the table upon release (they need some time to develop in bottle). You aren’t gonna find many 2002’s left in Niagara, but when you...

Rancourt Winery 2003 Meritage

Given the friendly atmosphere of Rancourt Winery, and the way Lionel and Lorraine (owners of the winery) make you feel like an old friend or even family when you walk in the door, I have dedicated each review of their wine to a particular friend or family member … you’ll know who you are.

Lionel Ra...

My mom has always loved Merlot, Myles be damned – and she’s always on the lookout for a good Ontario Merlot.

Lionel’s light handed approach to oak has made a soft style of merlot that fits right in line with mom’s palate – smooth, easy drinking and delicious. Soft on tannins and a subtle nose that’s hard to define, maybe hints of raspberry, blackberry and some c...

Vignoble Rancourt Winery 2004 Cabernet Franc

I had a friend who would have been drawn to this wine like a Scotsman to whiskey (having met a few Scotsmen in my day I say that with some authority). She’s a big fan of Cabernet Franc … big, hearty, beefy, heck, for lack of a better term, ballsy Cabernet Franc – she even liked the green pepper aspect of the wine. Well this one has everything she’d be looking for, including the green pepper. In the past I have dubbed wines with certain names, this one will be my Jim Croce wine, because this o...
