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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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

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 ...
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 ...
