Creekside Estate Winery 2005 Laura’s Blend Red

I did a little bit of comparative tasting with this wine, between the 2001 and the 2005 versions. 6 years on the 2001 is loaded with cassis and cedar notes, though heavy on the wood both nose and taste … I still have a few bottles of the ’01 so more experimentation is needed over the next few years to see how this one’s arch progresses. But now let’s focus on this newly released “monster-wine” they call the 2005. The blend, as usual, is Cabs Franc and Sauv with Merlot, and the Laura of the na...

Willow Springs Winery Testa Limited Reserve 2005 Cabernet Franc

This is one of those wines that you first try, then ask the price, then try it again – and during that second sip and swallow you’re thinking to yourself, “no way this wine is that price, better buy a few bottles before the guy realizes he’s made a mistake.” But yes, it’s true, this fantastic Franc is really $13.95.

So you know that every Canadian star and his dog has their own winery, right?

But the originator of this trend is the Great White North’s golfing hero Mike Weir; following in the footsteps of other great golfers before him. As is usually the case the originator brings the best stuff to the party and everyone else tries to copy ‘em...

John Howard Cellars ... Megalomaniac 2004 SonofaBitch Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is known as the heartbreak grape and I’m sure has made more than one winemaker scream “Son of a Bitch” more than a few times while making it. This SonofaBitch is really very good – a nose lifted straight out of a cherry tree with hints of strawberries and a slight woodsiness. The palate is something altogether different, sure the woodsy comes through with cedar, oak and even redwood notes (could be the mix of red fruit and oak), the fruit is tart strawberry, sour cherry and unsweete...
