Wayne Gretzky 2006 No. 99 Shiraz Icewine

There aren't many Shiraz Icewines in Ontario, so this is one of a handful made ... for those looking for a companion I would say Shiraz Icewine is very similar to Cabernet Franc Icewine with its strawberry, raspberry and honeyed notes, the main difference ...

Stonechurch 2007 Reserve Syrah

Finally, the wine that won ‘Best Syrah’ in Ontario (at the Ontario Wine Awards) is reaching the market that deserves to taste this wonderful wine. When the wine was entered it was finished but not bottled, because of financial woes being experienced at t ...

Southbrook 2006 Triomphe Syrah

This is a fairly light-bodied red with smells of red currant, sour cherry and other lightly scented red fruits. On the palate there's pepper and sour cherry with delicate, supple tannins, and, believe it or not, nuances of pink grapefruit - I swear to yo ...

Sanson Estate 2007 Syrah

Dennis Sanson has not been at the LENS Vintage Tasting event for a number of years now, too bad, because he makes some of the most interesting wines in the region. I stopped in just before the event started to see what was new. The most impressive wine ...

Reif Estate 2007 Shiraz

As we head into fall you’ll be looking for some wines that will go well on hot fall days and cool fall nights. While the weather doesn’t know what it’s going to do, you’ll want to know the wine your drinking will go well in either condition. This Reif Sh ...

Pelee Island 2005 Vinedressers Shiraz

In my family, August is a big month – there are at least 2 birthdays and three anniversaries to contend with; that’s why somewhere in the middle of the month, we have “the family BBQ” to celebrate everything all at once. At this event, we sit around on t ...

Muscedere Vineyards 2010 Syrah

I have to hand it to the folks at Muscedere, in a year in which they could have gotten away with calling this wine Shiraz they stuck with their roots and called it Syrah. On the nose this is currently a one hit peppery number, but it’s on the palate wher ...

Legends 2007 Shiraz Reserve

Once again we have some reductivity on the nose, something that winemaker Serge Papineau readily admits is his fault in his 2007 wines ... but if you can get past that, and I recommend that you do, you'll find this Shiraz has juicy black fruit, blueberry, ...

Lakeview Cellars 2007 Syrah Reserve

Reserve means special and I often have a problem with why some producers call a wine reserve when it seems that nothing "special" has been done to it; but that does not seem to be the case here. A Syrah for the 2007 vintage that spent 24 months in a mix ...

Lailey 2009 Syrah

Many consider winemaker Derek Barnett one of the better Syrah makers in Ontario - he definitely has a knack for putting together varietally correct wines with a grape that's not all-the-time suited for our climate. The nose has floral notes with raspberr ...

Lailey 2006 Syrah – Canadian Oak

Lailey makes two Syrahs, one aged in a combination of French and American oak and the other in 100% Canadian oak. Winemaker Derek Barnett remains committed to his Canadian oak experiments, experiments that other winemakers believe he should be committed ...

Lailey 2006 Syrah

There’s and old saying about not calling me late for dinner … Lailey released their ’06 Syrah too late for the 2007 BBQ season (November 2007) – but good news, it’ll be kicking around for the next few. Currently showing a nose of earthy, jammy and pepper ...

Konzelmann 2007 Barrel Aged Shiraz

I was a big fan of the 2006 version of this wine; 2007 was a much better growing season than 2006 – now that’s an understatement I can live with … 07 was one of , if not the best season ever, in Niagara (all of Ontario actually). So a heat-loving grape ...

Jackson-Triggs 2010 Grand Reserve Shiraz

A really good Shiraz from a very good year and a wine with international influence: It would seem that winemaker Marco Piccoli (an Italian) can make Shiraz (an Aussie style) here in Ontario (Canada) with a French (Rhone) twist. You'll find blueberry, bl ...

Jackson-Triggs 2010 Delaine Syrah

One of the benchmark Syrahs of Ontario. This one has smoky-dark fruited notes with a palate that delivers raspberry, tobacco and white pepper all the way to the finish. Price: $32.95 - Rating: ****

Jackson-Triggs 2007 Delaine Vineyard Syrah

What an elegant Syrah this is – it’s made from Delaine Vineyard fruit, a single vineyard owned by Jackson-Triggs’ former owner Donald Triggs and named after himself and his wife Elaine. The vines are now about 10 years old and winemaker Marco Piccoli is ...
