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

★★★½

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 Merlot

★★★★½

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 Cabernet/Merlot

★★★½

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 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 ...
