Tropical fruit and floral aromas mix with the oaky-vanilla barrel notes. All aromas replay on the tongue with pineapple and buttery-caramel ... complex group of flavors on the tongue with a long finish. Delicious. Price: $44.00
Still in its infancy when tried so it needs plenty of aeration to get anything out of the nose or taste. Spicy, black fruit with lots of barrel notes on the nose. A little more comes through on the tongue with peppery-black fruit holding court with some ...
Passion is a port-style wine (with a little something extra) made from Cabernet Franc (icewine), Baco Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon; it's not the first time Stoney Ridge has made a port and I think they keep getting better every time they try their hand at ...
Don’t think New Zealand here, because nothing could be further … yes there’s a pleasant herbaceous note on the nez, but it’s accompanied by vanilla, tangerine and lime. The palate shows a little more simplicity of flavor keeping the tangerine and adding ...
This is one of those peculiar wines that you can’t figure out from the nose … in fact, given just that I would have poured it down the sink cause all I got was something funky mixed with white pepper. But the palate more than made up for it with mac appl ...
Sauvignon Blanc seems to be a hot grape in Ontario these days, is it that everybody is now trying to make a wine from this grape, or it is now just getting noticed? This Stoney Ridge version may seem simple in its description but it certainly isn't simpl ...
"They", the all knowing folks amongst us, say that 2009 was a great year for Pinot Noir in Ontario, and after sipping on quite a few examples over the past few months I would have to say I agree - some of the best Ontario Pinots are emerging from this vin ...

A 3200 bottle production of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that’s toasty and tobacco laced with strawberries also appearing on the nez ... the palate shows a little more complexity and fruit: cherry-strawberry blend with red currants, toast ...
Here's a multi-layered Chardonnay that currently shows more on the nose than it does on the palate. Smells of baked apple, melon rind, vanilla and buttered hazelnuts; the taste profile isn't as interesting, as of yet, but I suppose with a little time in ...
I'm lying if I don't come clean and tell you that I'm a fan of Charlotte's Chardonnay ... have been for a few years now, I just like the fruit forwardness of the wine. The nose is layered with pineapple at its core, which follows on the palate with a tou ...
Lots of pear, peach and a touch of petrol and wildflower honey along with orange aromas and flavours … good acidity and a nice crispness all lead to a long finish. Price: $14.00 - Rating:***1/2

This is an outrageously good unoaked Chardonnay for very little money ($15.00), not only that it's got flavours and smells that will completely lure you in and have you taking sip after pleasurable sip. First, there's the nose of pineapple and melon whic ...

When I first put my nose into the glass I couldn't quite place the smell I was smelling, then it slowly hit me ... goodness me, could this be, yes it is: sweet and sour sauce - unmistakable for us fans of Chinese food ... after it hit me there was nothing ...
This sweetie has a nice creamy entry that sits pleasantly on the tongue, that just leads to the nice acidity on the finish that refreshes; think vanilla, caramel, apples and apricots all swimming in that sweetness. Price: $34.95 / 375ml - Rating: ****+
