Royal DeMaria Wines 2004 Baco Noir

Here’s something that might make the Kings of Baco (Henry of Pelham) brothers scratch their collective heads in wonderment as to why they didn’t think of it. From someone who has tasted many Baco’s of late, this wine was of great interest to me. The deep, dark red colour comes as no surprise considering the colour of the table wine Baco produces. The flavours are what you’d expect from Baco with the added bonus of kicked up sweetness: dark red berries, mainly black cherry with an earth inten...

Royal DeMaria Wines 2004 Cabernet Franc

It seems like these days everybody and his dog is making Cab Franc icewine, and why not, it is perfect as a table wine, grows wonderfully well here in Ontario and we just do so well with it. The skin contact was minimized here to keep the colour a faint pink (hardly noticeable it was in my glass it was so light). Tons of berries, mainly raspberry and strawberry, with good acidity and a luscious finish....

Colio 2002 Select Late Harvest Cabernet Franc

For a late harvest this wine is not overly sweet – in fact, it has an oddly surprising dry sensation somewhere in the midpoint to the finish. A lovely raspberry nose invites the drinker in to it’s embrace – and makes you believe that it is a genuine teeth-rotter with sweetness to spare. Your first sip and it hits you right away - an unmistakably sweet raspberry taste, then as the wine makes it’s way through the mouth the tartness of raspberries hits the back palate … ending on a surprisingly p...

Pilliteri Estates Winery 2004 Cabernet Franc Icewine

Pilliteri has been making Cabernet Franc icewine since 1998, and a whopping 55% of their production is devoted to making icewine, so if any winery is going to do it right, they will. This 2004 version is loaded with sweet chocolate strawberry, wildflower honey and candied peach – there’s also some rhubarb and sweet red pepper jelly on the nose. In the mouth it’s thick and lush with an amazing sweet strawberries and cherries dipped in milk chocolate taste, awesomely delicious. Jaime Slingerlan...

Vineland Estate Winery 2004 Select Late Harvest Vidal

If you’re a fan of late harvest wines, then have I got a recommendation for you. Vineland’s low alcohol (8.8%) sweety is the perfect after dinner sipper and truly lives up to the moniker of “poor-man’s-icewine”. The nose has plenty of tropical fruits like pineapple, tangerine, lychee and some honeyed pear … in the mouth it’s the 3 S’s - soft, supple and smooth – what’s on the nose is found on the tongue, along with a touch of wildflower honey. What’s more, it’s not overpoweringly sweet – perf...
