Konzelmann ‘Old Cellar Door’ Sparkling

Konzelmann makes two sparkling wines: one is light and lovely, full of effervescing bubbles and great as a mimosa mix (or whatever else you want to put into it). The other is for the serious sparkling wine fan … this review is for that wine. A blend of ...

Konzelmann 2010 Heritage

★★★½

An nice blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Blackberry, cassis, and black pepper with nice tannin backing it up, not too much mind you, smooth and welcome on the palate. Price: $24.95 – Rating: *** ½+

Konzelmann 2009 Vidal Icewine

★★★½

Lots of honeyed peach on this icewine with apricot marmalade backing it up ... a nice creamy mouthfeel that does not feel syrupy. Price: $24.95/ 200ml - Rating: *** 1/2

Konzelmann 2008 Winemaster's Late Harvest Gewurzt

★★★½

A wine destined for Vintages shelves in May, 2011 - the wine has lots of floral and soapy qualities, which I look for in Gewurztraminer, while there is a nice rose water flavour with a thick mouth feel and a really nice linger in the mouth. Price: $17.20 ...

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 ...

Konzelmann 2006 Special Select Late Harvest Vidal

★★★★½

I’m always a big fan of “poor man’s Icewine” … that’s the term I have given late harvest wine because of its similarity to Icewine because it mirrors its sweeter brother in both smell and taste, but contains half the sweetness. This wine follows that des ...

Konzelmann 2006 Gewurztraminer Reserve

I have a feeling I was oriental in a past life, Chinese to be more specific. I also believe I liked western food: burgers, fries, hot dogs, you name it - because these days I am getting my karmic comeuppance as I constantly yen for Chinese food. Well I ...

Konzelmann 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve

★★★★

Sometimes I think simple flavours and aromas are more welcome to the average everyday wine drinker than complexity. I know fellow writers and tasters who pick out the smallest detail from a wine and find things that only those that spend their day in a s ...

Konzelmann 2002 Pinot Noir Spaetburgender

I have to admit that I am not a Pinot Noir drinker … I have tried a good number of them and decided awhile back that it was not my grape of choice, which is why this Konzelmann Pinot came as such a treat (and surprise). Smooth as silk on the palate with ...

Kittling Ridge 2005 Vidal Icewine

Reviewed in late 2008 this wine has at least another year on it than many of the other Icewines available these days, that’s not a bad thing if you dig the more interesting nuances of aged Icewine. Here we have caramel apple, apricot and baked pear on th ...

Keint-he Winery 2009 Foxtail Pinot Meunier

★★★½

Keint-he Winery seems to have turned a corner with wines that are more customer driven then wine-snob driven … but they still keep you guessing. Meunier is not an often seen stand along grape – it is usually a blender grape for Champagne and sparkling wi ...

Keint-He Winery 2007 Pinot Noir

★★★★

One of Prince Edward County's newest wineries with big plans, the most interesting of which is single vineyard Pinot Noir offerings coming in the not too distant future. As for this 2007 it has a subtle earthy-strawberry nose and taste that follow pretty ...

Keint-He Winery 2007 Foxtail Chardonnay

★★★★

The nose is delightfully oaky with some fun aromas: toasted coconut, burnt butter and just a splash of vanilla. This just might be the first wine you’ve tried made and aged entirely in Hungarian oak. The flavours follow from the nose and leave behind n ...

Keint-he 2009 Foxtail Pinot Noir

★★★½

A single vineyard bottling form 10-year-old vines that shows good minerality with the right amount of everything else. There’s light and gently sour cherry, raspberry and strawberry pith notes – a silky mid-palate with nice acidity on the finish; you’ll ...
