Jackson-Triggs 2011 Delaine Chardonnay
Dig the new label on the Jackson-Trigss Delaine Vineyard Chardonnay - it has a funky new look to it. And while the new look is impressive the wine inside is also still just as impressive as always. Bright fruit, lemon zest and grassy notes reminiscent o ...
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 2010 Delaine Cabernet/Merlot
Quite lovely and elegantly styled. There's lots of everything and not too much of one thing. The cedar, vanilla, spice, cassis, blackberry, wood smoke and spice all come through with a finish that combines big tannins with acidity and spice. Wonderful ...
Jackson-Triggs 2010 Black Series Merlot
It's the fruit that makes Merlot such a fan favourite and this one really delivers. Blackberry and strawberry aromas, white pepper, strawberry, blackberry and currants with a nice spice on the finish. Price: $13.95 - Rating: *** 1/2+
Jackson-Triggs 2009 White Meritage
Let's start by clearing the air over what a 'white meritage' is. For the record it is not the main 5 grapes found in a Bordeaux blend with no skin contact (where the red colour comes from); in fact a white meritage can only be made up from two grapes (th ...
Jackson-Triggs 2009 Silver Series Sauvignon Blanc
The 2009 Vintage was a year for big acidity and one grape that really benefited from that elevated acid is Sauvignon Blanc. This Jackson-Triggs version doles out acid in the form of zesty grapefruit with a playful grassiness backing. You'll also find a ...
Jackson-Triggs 2009 Silver Series Gewurztraminer
This is a lovely restrained Gewurzt and if you`re a G-wine lover you`ll know what I mean when I say the nose and taste have what you like, but with a pulled back character that has lovely spice on the finish and nice acidity to balance it out. Price: $19 ...
Jackson-Triggs 2009 Silver Series Chardonnay
Now, many of you know that Chardonnay is my blasé grape of choice - I'd poo-poo it in an instant and discount it's sameness far to often. But this version is one of those that really impressed me and shows what good Chardonnay practises can bring about. ...
Jackson-Triggs 2009 Niagara Estate Gold Series Merlot
A Merlot with lots of layers both on the nose and palate: mocha, coffee, spiced cherry all nicely integrated with wood notes and drying tannins. Drink over the next 2-3 years. Price: $21.95 - Rating: *** 1/2+
Jackson-Triggs 2008 Proprietors’ Sauvignon Blanc
Described by winemaker Marco Picolo as “probably the best Sauvignon Blanc I’ve made” and by Del Rollo, in marketing, as “maybe the best J-T has made” – this wine isn’t just resting on the platitudes of a couple of guys paid to say it’s good, it delivers. ...
Jackson-Triggs 2008 Gold Series Red Meritage
This is a decent red from a difficult vintage, it is more on the herbal side than it is on the fruity side, so drink now and enjoy. Price: $24.95 - Rating: *** 1/2
Jackson-Triggs 2007 Proprietors’ Grand Reserve Merlot
Ontario Merlots need time to really come into their own and this Jackson-Triggs model is no different, especially knowing that it comes from the great 2007 vintage. This wine is chalky and chocolaty with big tannins and bit black fruit … it will require ...
Jackson-Triggs 2007 Proprietors' Grand Reserve Cabernet...
Lush, sweet and rich with red berris: raspberry and strawberry, coated in the sweetness of honey. Good acidity keeps it from being cloyingly sweet and maintains deliciousness on the tongue. Price: $24.95 / 200ml - Rating: ****+
Jackson-Triggs 2007 Proprietors' G R Cabernet Franc
During one of my favourite events, Taste the Season in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Jackson-Triggs seriously impressed me with this delicious Grand Reserve Cabernet Franc. The nose is smoky with tobacco, black cherry and black pepper aromas. The palate and nose ...

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 ...
Jackson-Triggs 2007 Delaine Vineyard Cabernet/Merlot
This is one of the nicest most well rounded Delaine Vineyard wines I have ever tasted, and that’s saying a lot considering the Delaine series have been some of J-T’s best wines over the years. This one really brings everything together in a complete pack ...
Jackson-Triggs 2007 Delaine Cabernet-Merlot
Donald Triggs and his wife Elaine, planted in 1999. 2007 was a growing season extraordinaire in Ontario and it seems the winemaking team at J-T took full advantage of it. A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot (I know it do ...
Jackson-Triggs 2007 Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon
They may have pulled out of the wine council to promote and protect their CiC brands of wine, but when J-T puts their minds to it, they can really make some great VQA wines too. I tasted this 75% Cabernet Franc, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon beauty on the Niaga ...
