Ridgepoint Wines 2002 Cabernet Franc

Sometimes you take a sniff of a wine and get a familiar scent that you can’t quite put your finger on … this is one of those wines. The nose is complex with lots of varied smells, it’s like a party in a glass. Starting off, there’s a boat load of peppers that show up – red, green, yellow and orange … sniff again and you’ll get some sweet raspberries with hints of blue and black berries that start intermingling … finally there’s some bittersweet chocolate hiding itself, like a wallflower, in th...

Lakeview Cellars 2002 Cabernet Franc

A little kick, a little jump, a little bite – a little time. Sounds like a review for the latest Jean-Claude Van Damme film, but it’s actually an able description of this wine. Still a little closed, it shows signs of black cherry and blackberry on the nose … the taste, once you get past the thick tannin grip, is black – as in berry and raspberry; but there is an underlying sweetness that is apparent right at the tail-end in the back palate. Given some time, this is going to be a dazzler of a...

Henry of Pelham 2004 Gamay

Is a good Gamay a lost art of winemaking? On the decline, yes, but certainly not lost. Pelham offers this rather interesting and tasty Gamay, made completely in stainless steel. It has great fruit flavours and interesting smells which make it a pleasure to drink. The smells are rich and full and they tickle the nose with hints of you-are-not-quite-sure-what-that-is smells, then it finally hits you: undertones of strawberry and raspberry linger in the background while the anise (black licoric...

13th Street Winery ‘Noirs’

To some this may seem like an exotic blend, but to the boys at 13th Street it’s just another day at the office. 50% Gamay is blended with 50% Pinot Noir to create something truly unique. The raspberry, cherry and earth notes of the Pinot mix well with the pepper spice of the Gamay to give it an exotic sweet and spicy taste. What’s even more interesting is the initial heat from the wine upon the first sip; of course this mellows out into something fantastic on the palate. Another excellent bl...

13th Street Winery 2003 Sandstone Vineyard Estate Bottle Gamay Noir

After trying 3 unconventional blends (Noirs, Reds, Erv’s) we were happy to see and taste something recognizable and yet completely different. 13th Street is known for their Gamay – the reserve wins medals year after year … this is their “standard issue” and it is wonderful – we can see where the reserve gets it’s reputation and pedigree. Black cherry and dark fruit are most predominant on the nose. In the mouth it starts off bold but softens to become smooth and easy with a great lingering fi...
