Malivoire 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon

The first thing we noticed about this wine was it’s beautiful ruby-red and purple colour, how when you swirled it the wine seemed to cling to the sides of the glass creating a fantastic array a refracted colour with the florescent lighting in the room, and then there’s the nose. Sweet cherry and plum with a dash of white pepper and hints of burnt caramel – not overpowering but pleasant. On the palate the wine is smooth and ready to drink, but might benefit from a few years on the cellar shelf....

Featherstone 2004 Unfiltered Gamay

Gamay Noir has long been one of my favourite grape varieties since I started drinking reds; Ontario wineries seemed to be able to do them justice. But these days Gamay has taken a backseat to much more stylish varietals and the same care and consideration, that was once there, isn’t being imparted on this once noble grape (even the French are poo-pooing the Beaujolais grape, literally). Thankfully Featherstone has renewed my love for Gamay with this lush wine. The nose is multilayered with bl...

Colio 2002 CEV Gamay Noir – Barrel Fermented

Gamay has long been one of those grapes I love, so I was eager to try this offering from Colio. Just released onto the LCBO’s Vintage shelves our timing could not be better to bring it to your attention. This Gamay is a surprising treat to those expecting something light and playful because you’ll soon find our this Gamay is more full-bodied than most. Aromas of black cherry and oak are the first things to accost the nose. On the palate the oakiness follows through carrying with it hints of ...

Creekside 2003 Shiraz

Back in early-June, we sampled this potent beauty when she was first bottled … during the Niagara New Vintages Festival. Creekside had it on for limited sale until it was ready for release later in the summer. Back then, it still showed some greenness and rustic tannins – but with great mid-term cellaring potential – and the fruit was just beginning to peak around the corner and start to show it’s face. Three months later we are happy to report the bottle-shock is over and she has shaped up t...

Creekside 2001 Laura’s Blend (Meritage)

It’s young but definitely ageable if you have the patience to wait that is … otherwise drink up and enjoy it right now because it is wonderful. Hints of new leather-coat hit the nose hinting at, even before the first sip, a full-bodied blend. The tannins are the next thing to grab you, what many would consider in your face – but this just enhances my thoughts about age-worthiness. Finally, when you get past the original leather smell and the tannin grip the fruit begins to show through … as t...
