Pondview 2010 Chardonnay
This is a stainless steel tank made Chardonnay that remains 6-months on its lees to give it added complexity. Smells and flavours meld together here with green apple and peach pit along with good acidity and a nice lingering finish. A good, every day Ch ...
Pondview 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon, Bella Terra
This is not wine for the faint of heart … it’s big from start to finish. Aromas address the heft of the wine while the palate speaks to the hope for the future, and that’s where we’ll start. The nose is all about deep dark and brooding, but the palate h ...
Pondview 2010 Cabernet Merlot
The Merlot dominates the blends here at 45%, but because the two Cabernets (Franc and Sauv) make up 55% it's legitimately a Cabernet Merlot (father and son bully Merlot into giving up its naming rights) ... This is the base model blend here at Pondview, s ...
Pondview 2010 Bella Terra Pinot Gris
Pinot Gris is mostly seen as a light, refreshing wine, but at Pondview they added a twist with some time in barrel, namely a fermentation in neutral French and Hungarian oak - this seems to have added some extra complexity to the wine. An interesting tan ...
Pondview 2010 Bella Terra Chardonnay
I have to admit vintage variation sucks, but it's also what makes Ontario such an interesting place to make and taste wine. The '09 version of this wine was all-that-and-a-bag-of-chips, as the kids used to say. The 2010 is a hotter vintage and shows mor ...
Pondview 2010 Bella Terra Cabernet Franc
The Bella Terra Franc is a barrel selection of the best wines made in that year … the barrels used are a 50/50 mix of American and French of which 20% are new; aged 18 months. Resulting wine is something you can age for a decade with confidence. A nose ...

Pondview 2009 Riesling
New winery alert … yes folks Niagara-on-the-Lake has another new winery and it’s worth a look-see. Grower Lou Puglisi (former Grape King) got tired of seeing some of his fruit going unbought and lying on the ground, so he decided that his hard work shoul ...
Pondview 2009 Merlot
Slowly ... Quietly ... Pondview is starting to make a name for themselves as a winery making good wines at very good prices. Here's another example of this, a Merlot aged 1 year in 100% new American (60%) and French (40%) oak for only $19.00 ... of cours ...

Pondview 2009 "Bella Terra" Chardonnay
Everybody knows that Chardonnay and I have not been the best of friends over the years. But lately I have tried quite a few interesting ones (having been one of the judges at the Cool Chardonnay tasting - coolchardonnay.ca). This was one of those Cool C ...
Pondview 2009 "Bella Terra" Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is a serious grape in Ontario, unfortunately the rest of the world sees it as just a blender, but for my money Franc, handled well, stands up. This wine spent 1 year in a mix of new French (40%) and American (60%) oak barrels ... it was al ...
Pondview 2008 Cabernet
Limited production usually comes at a much steeper price – this 50/50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc from the ’08 vintage saw 18 months in French oak and production was only 70 cases; but still Lou Puglisi has decided on a price that is more than a ...
Pillitteri 2010 Cabernet Franc – Exclamation Reserve
The last time I tried this wine it was the 2007 version, it was over-manipulated, over-barreled and over the hill, even before it had reached its third birthday … in other words, it was a hot mess. Seems that the folks at Pillitteri have finally got a ha ...
Pillitteri 2010 Cabernet Franc
There's some easy to drink sweet fruit in here that includes a touch of mocha, sour cherry, raspberry and good acidity which brings the whole thing together nicely ... one of the nicest Pillitteri Franc's in quite some time. Price: $17.95 - Rating: *** 1/ ...
Pillitteri 2010 Antagonist
Sweetly spiced with vanilla and thinly veiled fruit, more red than black; a pleasant enough wine meant for drink now enjoyment. Price: $15.95 - Rating: *** 1/2

Pillitteri 2007-Tasted - NV Chariot Dolce
It used to be that sweet reds were a dime a dozen, but these days our palates have become more accustomed to the drier stuff … though sweetness seems to be coming back in style, as evidenced by the popularity of Yellow Tail wines and their ilk. This Pill ...
