Vineland Estates 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Non-VQA)

The bottle says “red fruit” but I picked up plenty of dark fruit aromas like plums, along with some cocoa, anise, and vanilla. On the palate, it’s light and fruity, suggesting the Chilean influence, with a slight tannic bite at the end. Vanilla, anise a ...

Viewpointe 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon

Anybody who’s paying any kind of attention to the Ontario wine scene knows that 2002 was a fantastic year for grape-growing and winemaking. That was 5 years ago and many of those wines are just coming into their own now. This Cab Sauv seems to have deve ...

Thirty Bench 2010 Small Lot Cabernet Sauvignon

The small lot reds from Thirty Bench are finally here, after 18 months in barrel, and it’s now up to the public to pick their favourite. I have already cast my vote for the Merlot, but following a close second is this Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose scream ...

Thirty Bench 2007 Small Lot Cabernet Sauvignon

This is one of those 2007 wines that were all the buzz a few years back and continue to cause a stir when they are released or people come across them. In my opinion there are some '07s that are worthy of that buzz while others ... well, not so much. Th ...

Strewn 2007 Terroir Cabernet Sauvignon

Of all the Strewn 2007 Terroir wines I’ve tried, this is my favourite. While I enjoyed the Franc, dug the ‘Three’ and hope for the best for the Merlot, the Cab Sauv (from Strewn’s own vineyard) carries the day. The nose is a lovely mix of blackberry and ...

Strewn 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon

Two words describe this one at this point in its existence: big and chewy - this wine will need some time to settle down and integrate all the wood and flavours that are packed into the bottle. Blackberries, currants and spice lead the charge with the ba ...

Stratus 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon

There is lots and lots of lovely red and black fruit in this wine, both on the nose and palate – and that’s not all, it has plenty of friends backing it up. Tannins, spice, acidity and that’s just for starters on the palate. You’ll also find smoky, coco ...

Stoney Ridge 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon

On both the nose and palate you’ll find lots of dark fruit with hints of mocha and a lovely smoky character. Price: $16.95 – Rating: *** ½

Stonechurch 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon

When you think of Cabernet Sauvignon you probably think full bodied, ageability and on the tannic side (especially when young). Well, with this 2004 version, Stonechurch has made a light to medium-bodied version (probably due to the growing condition of ...

Sprucewood Shores 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon

Not sure where else you’re gonna find a domestic, fruit forward Cabernet Sauvignon this juicy and delicious for this price (which is one of the reasons it’s so attractive). Black cherry is the dominant fruit followed by sweet oak, vanilla and black peppe ...

Sprucewood Shores 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon

A few months ago I discovered a five star value in Niagara and now I`ve located another, but this time in the Lake Erie North Shore. What I mean by five-star value is a wine that over delivers at its price point. This Cab is all black fruit, cassis and ...

Sprucewood Shores 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

There are some wines that you rate based on their future potential and not on their drink now status - this Sprucewood Reserve Cabernet is one of those wines. This is from the big 2007 vintage where riper than usual fruit was the norm. 19 months in a mi ...

Sprucewood Shores 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

Sprucewood Shores is finally open for business (as of November 2006). I met Gord Mitchell, owner and all-around handyman, at a Lake Erie North Shore Vintages tasting back in the summer of 2006. He spoke highly of his wines, the winemaker and the innovat ...

Rosehall Run 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon

20 months in new French oak has given this wine power and punch. The nose is leathery, black cherry and black raspberry; the flavours mimic the nose though it switches the leather for more cedary notes, all with the addition of vanilla-cinnamon undertone ...

Rosehall Run 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon

Sometimes you want simple, other times you want complex - then there are those times when you need time. This Cab Sauv, from the hot, short crop 2005 vintage is one of those latter wines. Big, smoky, oaky and black fruited with a heavy tannin punch; thi ...

Riverview 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon

For those who believe they aren't gonna find a good Cabernet Sauvignon from Ontario from the 2009 vintage might want to think again. This Riverview offering isn't going to be long-lived, but it is good for immediate-future consumption (2-3 years). 50% o ...

Ridgepoint 2008 Late Harvest Cabernet Sauvignon

I’m a big fan of late harvest wines, so I was excited to pop the cork on this one, so excited in fact I decided to pop it open before dinner, as aperitif. What I got did not disappoint. The nose was loaded with rhubarb and strawberry, while the palate d ...

Ridgepoint 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon

Whoa Nelly, another ’02 strikes again. This Cab Sauv from Ridgepoint is a double medal winner: a silver at the Ontario Wine Awards (2006) and a gold at the All Canadian Wine Championships (2006); and you can definitely see (or is that taste) why. Now y ...

Reif Estate 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

Reif Estate’s Reserve Cab is made from vines planted in 1989 and spends 14 months in a blend of French and Hungarian oak – the result is complexity of both aromas and flavours: the nose gives off aromas of coffee, new leather, mocha and some herbal notes ...

Reif Estate 2007 First Growth Cabernet Sauvignon

This is the gem of the 2007 First Growth series of wines from Reif, it's ready to drink now (with a little decanting) but could easily age a decade or more with beneficial results. Aged in a mix of 70% French and 30% Hungarian oak, all new, for 30 months ...
