	Megalomaniac 2006 Vainglorious Cabernet/Merlot This is a lovely effort from the John Howard Cellars of Distinction, owner of the Megalomaniac brand. The nose is black fruit, dark chocolate, herbs and vanilla – the flavours follow through from the nose in a very smooth and tasty way … my notes say “black velvet across the tongue” – but the taste is far superior to licking a piece of clothe, trust me....

	Megalomaniac 2006 Bravado Cabernet Sauvignon The plan, according to John Howard (owner of the Megalomaniac brand), is to make wine that tops out, price-wise, at $24.95, “because good Ontario wines should not be anymore than that” (at this time). This Cab Sauv is like chewing a stick of Big Red, not just for the cinnamon flavours that come through but also for the big red (and black) fruits that come out on both the nose and taste. There’s little in the way of oak influence here – meaning woodsy smells or flavours – but there is a fair a... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 320 ]
	Mike Weir 2006 Pinot Noir Typical cool climate Pinot Noir from Ontario – but saying typical doesn’t mean it’s boring or ordinary – typical means its good clean and pleasant to sip upon. The nose is earthy with cranberry and strawberry fruit … the taste follows right along with the nose along with good cutting acidity, ripe tannins and a wonderful sour cherry finish … set for release in June, but put this one aside till Thanksgiving – for either the Canadian or American version....

	Daniel Lenko Estate 2005 Meritage Lenko has never before submitted wines to the LCBO, so for his first entry, he has sent his ’05 Meritage blend (83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot) ... This one's meaty and mouth drying, built for the long haul of ten to twelve years (though it will be drinking very well at seven to eight years of age). The nose is quite spicy and peppery which follows through in the mouth with its heavy wood tannin structure, over time, the fruit will emerge to prominence, for now, it lies in waiting in the ba...

	Daniel Lenko Estate 2005 Old Vine Merlot Lenko’s second LCBO-bound wine is also from the 2005 vintage (following the ’05 Meritage). This one has quite a bit more fruit (at this time) than its Meritage counterpart. Although it spent eighteen months in French and American oak, the wood used was mostly preconditions (read: used) oak, thus keeping the fruit to oakiness ratio in better balance. The smells are distinctively black cherry, blackberry and cocoa, while in the mouth, there are ripe tannins that wrap up dark berries, cinnamon, ... Rating: Nº votes [Hits: 359 ]
