13th Street 2011-Tasting - NV Premier Cuvee Brut Sparkl...

13th Street calls this wine their “Premier Cuvee”, not surprising they would pick that name because they are one of the Premier sparkling houses in Ontario … and this is another very fine effort. The nose is a touch nutty with baked apple notes, on the p ...

13th Street 2011-Tasting - NV 13 Below Zero Riesling

Made in a late harvest style from 2 vintages (2009/2010) this wine has the best of both worlds going for it - acidity and rich flavour. The nose is pear, delicious apple with honey notes; flavours dole out spiced apple and pear with fresh acidity and a m ...

13th Street 2010 White Palette

For this wine think of a toned back Gewurztraminer, you definitely get the G-wine dominance here (and that's great for the aromas), while the palate delivers a touch of apple, pear and peach to back up the spicy floral notes; that spice carries right thro ...

13th Street 2010 Sandstone Old Vines Gamay Noir

Lots of black and byng cherry on the nose and those aromas follow onto the palate with touches of tannins and spice; good restrained use of oak to not overpower the fruit. Price: $29.95 - Rating: ****

13th Street 2010 Merlot

Stop the presses! 13th Street has themselves a real winner here - not like it's their first though. This all estate Merlot has a lot of firsts under its belt: first machine harvest for the winery, first second tier Merlot and first big bruiser red from 2 ...

13th Street 2010 June's Vineyard Riesling

This seems to be an anti-Riesling style of Riesling ... let me explain: it's a wine that you will have to set aside your preconceived notion of what a Riesling is when you try it ... the nose conjures up Sauvignon Blanc characteristics: grapefruit, citru ...

13th Street 2010 Gamay Noir

The '09 Gamays were spectacular, and why not, this kissing-cousin of Pinot Noir saw its cousin rise to the spotlight in that finicky vintage. On the other hand, '10 was hotter and more Bordeaux variety-oriented, so I wouldn't hold ouot for typical Pinot ...

13th Street 2010 Cabernet/Merlot

The nose is nice and smoky, dark fruited with cedar throughout; the palate also is quite smoky with cedar notes (as it was on the nose) - the fruit has yet to full emerge, so give it a year or so to materialize. Price: $21.95 - Rating: *** 1/2

13th Street 2009 White Palette

Think of a painter's palette here, one of those old time boards with the thumb-hole and dots of paint on it. In this case the dots represent Chardonnay Musque, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Chardonnay, Semillon, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc - all blend tog ...

13th Street 2009 Sandstone Old Vines Gamay

This is serious Gamay for serious Gamay-lovers. It’s only made in vintages where 13th Street believes they have achieved proper fruit quality and can make a distinctively different wine from their entry level offering. This wine was aged 10 months in Fr ...

13th Street 2009 Gamay

We have here one of the two best Gamay houses in Ontario … I really hope more hop on the Gamay bandwagon the way 13th Street (and Malivoire) have. With ’09 being touted as a great Pinot Noir vintage, it stands to reason that its kissing cousin, Gamay, wo ...

13th Street 2008-Tasting - ‘Noirs’

To some this may seem like an exotic blend, but to the boys at 13th Street it’s just another day at the office. 50% Gamay is blended with 50% Pinot Noir to create something truly unique. The raspberry, cherry and earth notes of the Pinot mix well with t ...

13th Street 2008 Premier Cuvee Brut

It’s a sad day for Ontario sparkling wine fans … 13th Street has “no foreseeable plans to make this wine again, anytime soon”, so I have been told – their grapes are destined for other projects. So this also becomes a collectors’ item once placed in your ...

13th Street 2008 Gamay Noir

13th Street is known for making pretty good Gamay – some would argue they are the best in Ontario at making this grape sing, which is why they usually make 2 versions … believing that a well-matched duet is better than a soloist. But 2008 didn’t give the ...

13th Street 2008 Funk Vineyard Riesling

This wine is made with some pretty old Riesling fruit. The vines were planted between 1975 and the early 80’s and the age of those vines gives the grapes and the resulting wine, added complexity. The nose is peach, mineral laced with whiffs of fresh pea ...

13th Street 2008 Cabernet Rosé

Those who snicker at rosé should think again when tasting this 54% Cabarnet Sauvignon and 46% Cabernet Franc pink concoction. An aroma of red berries and unsweetened strawberry fruit, while on the palate strawberry jam and other red fruits without the sy ...

13th Street 2007-Tasting - “Reds”

Man are we torn about this wine … not because the panel was split on it’s decision – (we unanimously praised it, in fact we’re buying more), but because we usually write our reviews about Ontario VQA wines. In the end it was determined that this one jus ...

13th Street 2007 Sandstone Old Vines Chardonnay

Speaking of wines yet to be released, this 13th Street staple is going to launch the official opening of the new location for this long running cult winery located 2km from its old haunt on 13th Street (now at: 1776 4th Avenue). This is a beauty of a Cha ...
