	Colchester Ridge Estate Winery 2005 Merlot Here’s an Ontario Merlot you can drink now yet still hold for a few years if you wish. Most Ontario Merlot needs quite a few years to mellow, CREW has made one that’s drinkability-factor is immediate. Smells of plum, blackberry, pepper and other spices are quite inviting to the nose, while in the mouth you’ll get the tastes of tobacco, spices and blackberries with heavy tannins and some spiciness …but those heavy tannins don’t overpower. This wine is well put together and tasty.... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 305 ]
	Colchester Ridge Estate Winery 2005 Cabernet Franc/Merlot In their first year CREW made a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend – this year they saved the Sauv for a standout solo bottling and instead blended the Franc with the Merlot … with more great results. The nose is fruit forward with some cinnamon added to the dark fruit and sweet beets. The taste is smooth and lush with black cherries and spice – light on tannins, so it’s an easy drinker, and well integrated with its wood, which it hung out in for 10 months. ...

	Viewpointe Estate Winery 2001 Cabernet-Merlot 2001 was a “suspect” year in Ontario – that’s the year the bugs came to town. Many of the wines were tainted with “ladybug”, the more technical term being “pyrazine” … those in the Lake Erie North Shore area cringe at that broad brush representation of the entire industry because they got tagged with that label too – though many of the producers making and selling wine at the time tell me they weren’t affected at all. “Niagara is the bellwether for the whole province, and that’s just not right...

	Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Sprucewood Shores is finally open for business (as of November 2006). I met Gord Mitchell, owner and all-around handyman, at a Lake Erie North Shore Vintages tasting back in the summer of 2006. He spoke highly of his wines, the winemaker and the innovative wine blends they were experimenting with. I met him again in January 2007, at the London Wine Show in London, Ontario. At that time, he introduced me to his winemaker, daughter Tanya, who looks to me like she isn’t old enough to drink in t... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 211 ]
	Colchester Ridge Estate Winery 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Last year, when Colchester opened for business, they had two whites and a red on the shelf. The red was excellent and showed signs of what was to come from this winery. 2005 has brought about more reds from the crew at CREW and one of the better ones was this Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose is rich in smells like chocolate, cherries, cranberries, nutmeg and hints of oak (where it spent 10 months maturing). The palate is cherries and cranberries with nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon, which flow smoo... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 262 ]
