Oxley 2011 Riesling
One of the Lake Erie North Shore’s newest wineires who have decided to use odd varieties, like Regent, also shows off what they can do with something more widely known, like Riesling. The nose screams full on lemon up the olfactories; the palate whacks y ...
Oxley 2010 Regent
Looks like ‘regent’ but it’s pronounced “Re – Gant” with a “g” before the word “ant” … got it? Anyway, turns our Regent is a cross between Dianna (Sylvaner) and Muller Thurgau, and is amongst the top 25 varieties grown in the EU (ranking 12th – who knew) ...
Organized Crime 2009 Riesling
You can smell the acidity here but it is so much more than that. The nose is lime and talc while the taste has got apple core style sweetness and good minerality. It enters the mouth sweet but finishes dry, showing a great seam of acidity and terrific f ...
Organized Crime 2009 Fume Blanc
Made with 85% Sauvignon Blanc (of which 50% was dried in a tobacco kiln) and 15% Viognier (of which 100% was dried) then aged in older barrels for 7-8 months. The nose is tropical and vanilla while the palate is where the fruit comes shining through with ...
Organized Crime 2008 Viognier
I suspect in the coming years you’ll be seeing more Viognier from wineries here in Ontario; it’s white wine’s answer to the ABC crowd (those oppose to Chardonnay). Viognier seems to be a grape that holds the interest of wine drinkers because it’s just di ...
Organized Crime 2008 The Download
For a red made in a 'bad' vintage this is one good wine; it really shows you what can be done with blending and proves why the Bordelais have been doing it forever. This is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot and 7% Petit Ve ...
Organized Crime 2008 Riesling
Winemaker Andrezj Lipinski makes dang fine Riesling – year-in, year-out I find myself drawn to the wine he makes from this grape, and this ’08 is no exception. The nose is loaded with lime, apple, white peach and mineral notes; on the palate there’s just ...
Organized Crime 2008 Gewurztraminer
A lovely Gewurzt nose with lychee and spice, the palate picks up on this and gives lots of lychee and spice to the tongue, it also has a bit of that Thrills gum soapiness that is fun to find in Gewurzt. Price: $22.00 - Rating: ****+
Organized Crime 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
The quality of this wine comes from vineyard management, in 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon would have been a tough slog, but the Organized Crime folks thinned the fruit to one bunch per shoot on the vine, thus limiting what the vine had to concentrate on making. ...
Organized Crime 2007 The Download
Winemaker Andrzej Lipinski has crafted quite the beauty in the bottle here, one that seems to improve and become more complex the longer it is open … the other amazing part is how smooth it continues to be from beginning to end. Andrzej downloaded Cabern ...
Organized Crime 2007 Riesling
My first conscious experience drinking an Andrzej Lipinski wine was a 2004 Semi-Dry Riesling from Fielding – it was a sublime experience and made me stand up and take notice of this winemaker. Now, some 4 years later, I have noticed him again. Not that ...
Organized Crime 2007 Cabernet Franc
I have often thought of winemaker Andrjez Lipinski as a white wine genius, but of late he is showing a pretty deft hand with reds too. This Cabernet Franc spent 17 months in new 225L Eastern European (Polish and Ukrainian) oak. Smells and flavours inter ...
