Willow Springs 2005 Baco Noir

This is not the full, hearty, foxy Baco we’ve all come to expect from this grape. Nor is this a clone of the 2003 version … Willow Springs continues to experiment with it’s homegrown grape to see what can be done with it. There version of Baco is lighte ...

Willow Springs 2002 Baco Noir

Most of the people I know don’t like Baco – it always seems to be too something to people and as one person once said to me “It’s foxy but not in a good way.” But when David Churchill of the LCBO told me to go back to Willow Springs and try this homegrow ...

Waupoos Estates 2005 Baco Noir

As we all know, Baco can be a pretty harsh grape and can make some pretty harsh tasting wines. When made well, people find Baco can be sublime; but when made poorly, its tastes are well below sub-par. So which side of the coin does this Waupoos version ...

Sanson Estate 2008 Baco Noir - Reserve

I hope you Baco lovers out there have heard me talk about the holy trinity of Ontario Baco, one in each region of the province. This wine comes from one of those three. Dennis Sanson treats Baco (a hybrid) like he would any vinifera and it shows. The no ...

Sandbanks 2009 Baco Noir

In my opinion there are three consistently good Baco Noir producers in Ontario, and as luck would have it there is one in each region. This is Prince Edward County's addition to the Baco trifecta. Catherine Langlois has consistently made good wine from t ...

Sandbanks 2009 Baco 10th Anniversary

Baco, the great enigma of Ontario, has both a big following and a big loathing in the province that seeks to call it its own. These camps include producers, consumers and writers, but up until a few years ago there has been only one true Baco producer th ...

Sandbanks 2005 Baco Reserve

There is no wonder what-so-ever in my mind why this wine placed so well during the OntarioWineReview Baco Challenge … For those who missed it, this Sandbanks Reserve finished 2nd amongst some very stiff competition in the reserve category. And while wine ...

Royal DeMaria 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 dee ...

Lacey Estates 2008 Baco Noir

I was sitting around with some friends recently and someone piped up saying they really liked Baco Noir. Being the real s**t disturber I am I decided to put that assertion to the test by yanking a few out for analysis. Amongst them was this Lacey Estate ...

Lacey Estates 2007 Baco Noir

This is a different kind of Baco, one that tastes and smells more vinifera than hybrid. The nose is what draws you in, with blackberry, spice and hints of woodsiness. The palate is also quite appealing, with blackberry, licorice, oak, leather and smoke. ...

Henry of Pelham 2010 Reserve Baco Noir

When you get a Baco done right it's hard to find fault with it, besides that it's made from Baco I mean. This one is made from grapes grown in the hot 2010 vintages and has the things people love about the grape and more: smoky-bacon, raspberry, blackber ...

Henry of Pelham 2009 Baco Noir Reserve

Baco is not my favourite grape ... most of those who produce it make some pretty terrible wine ... those are that's pretty harsh words, so let's suffice it to say it's not my favourite grape - and leave it at that. But I'm not opposed to telling you abou ...

Henry of Pelham 2009 Baco Noir

It's been awhile since I have been able to say the phrase: "that's a nice Baco". But about a month ago I got to say it three times (during a hybrid tasting), none more emphatically than with this Henry of Pelham '09 version. The nose is full of black fru ...

Aleksander Estate 2010 Baco Noir

If you've never tried Baco, but often wondered if you'd like it or even want to try it, this Aleksander version from 2010 might be your ticket to the Baco-train. It's leathery and jammy, yet smooth and easy on the palate with nice black cherry sweetness ...
