Vintage Ink (Vincor) 2010 Rite of Passage Chardonnay
A very pleasant version of Chardonnay, hits all the right notes one is looking for without too much let down from something popping up and taking over: apple, pear and fresh lemon lead the fruit charge while a vanilla seam carries it through to the finis ...
Vintage Ink (Vincor) 2010 Mark of Passion Merlot/Cabern...
There is no doubt there is plenty of fruit here, it’s juicy, has good flavour and delicate tannins – it’s an easy drinking sippable red for all occasions. Price: $17.95 – Rating: ****
Vintage Ink (Vincor) 2009 Mark of Passion Merlot/Cabern...
Don’t look at your wine map for this winery, and finding it online is quite difficult, Vintage Ink doesn’t exist, it’s just a name with a funky, if not borrowed label idea (see Legends Estates tattoo series). Nice layers of dark fruit with cocoa powder, ...
Vineland Estates 2011 Riesling - St. Urban Elevation
Vineland seems to be trimming down their portfolio a bit – they are combining the Elevation series with the St. Urban designation. This 2011 version has a nose that’s got lemon, lime, floral and peach notes … On the palate the signature mineral notes app ...
Vineland Estates 2011 Riesling - Dry New!
2011 was one of those strange years in Ontario winemaking, some loved it, some hated it, some just thought it was typical for an Ontario vintage ... but 2011 will most-likely be a footnote as it comes between two excellent vintages, namely 2010 and 2012 - ...
Vineland Estates 2011 Pinot Meunier
You can look around long and hard and not come up with too many stand-alone Pinot Meunier wines. Pinot Meunier is the third grape in a Champagne blend and usually makes up no more than 10% of the mix. Winemaker Brian Schmidt has been making this grape i ...
Vineland Estates 2011 Pinot Grigio
Winemaker Brian Schmidt seems ot have found a happy medium between two styles with this wine: the white fruit sweetness of Gris and the acidity-citrus nature of Grigio. The nose has plenty of that white fruit (apple/pear) but also shows its citrus side i ...
Vineland Estates 2011 Chardonnay - Unoaked
For you unoaked Chardonnay fans this is a God-sent wine … not just for the price, which is amazing, but also for the flavours that make up this wine. The nose has hints of floral, honeydew rind, pear and grapefruit. The floral, I’m sure, comes from the ...
Vineland Estates 2011 Cabernet-Merlot
Vineland’s value Cabernet-Merlot is one of the great bargains of Ontario wine year-in and year-out. 2011 is gonna be one of those forgotten years because it comes between two great years 2010 and 2012, but this ’11 should be given it’s props. Black cher ...
Vineland Estates 2010 Riesling - Semi-Dry New!
I find myself to be a waffler when it comes to Vineland Rieslings: sometimes I'm a fan of the Dry version and in other years I find myself drawn to the Semi-Dry ... the 2010 is definitely a Semi-Dry kinda year ... but don't get all hung to on the semi-dry ...
Vineland Estates 2010 Pinot Meunier
Their website reads "Act One beats Act Two ..." as you scratch your head I will explain: in 2009 winemaker Brian Schmidt created the first bottling of what is now to become a staple at Vineland, a red wine made from the lowly Pinot Meunier - the also-ran ...
Vineland Estates 2010 Cabernet-Merlot
As the 2010 reds begin to hit shelves you’re gonna be seeing some very interesting and well-priced wines that’ll make you look like a genius for buying them. Perfect example is this 75% Cabernet Sauvignon dominated blend (10% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlo ...
Vineland Estates 2010 Cabernet Franc
Another beauty of a vintage for reds and another steal of a bargain from Vineland. Because this wine is available through the general list at the LCBO the price is set and in great vintages like 2010, you get a fantastic value for a wine that should be a ...
Vineland Estates 2009 Sauvignon Blanc
This Sauvignon Blanc has a lot going on in the glass: lemon, melon, exotic fruit and mineral notes combine to make this a real stand out, especially for the price ... combine that fruit with some great acid balance and you've got yourself a real palate pl ...
Vineland Estates 2009 Riesling - St. Urban
There are some producers in Niagara that really know how to push the right Riesling buttons - who know how to walk that fine line between the racy and the sweet and bring it all together ... Vineland continues to show that it is a leader in this category. ...
Vineland Estates 2009 Riesling - Semi-Dry
I`ve tried some great Rieslings from 2009, it was a great Riesling year, plenty of plumped up acidity, and lots of lovely fruit, everything a Riesling lover enjoys. Brian Schmidt, winemaker for Vineland, seems to be able to coax Riesling grapes to submit ...
Vineland Estates 2009 Riesling - Dry
I've been waiting to try this yet-to-be-released Riesling for some time, at least since trying the semi-dry and the St. Urban Riesling from the same year ... I was finally secreted a bottle by the winemaker himself - and I can definitely tell you the wine ...
Vineland Estates 2009 Pinot Meunier
I believe that Vineland is trying to corner the market on Pinot Meunier in Niagara. It's very interesting to see this third (and relatively minor) grape of Champagne in a stand alone wine. Vineland currently has 8 acres of the stuff growing in their vin ...
Vineland Estates 2009 Elevation Cabernet
“I think you’re gonna like this one,” said Dave as he poured me the last of the 3 wines Vineland had on for tasting during the New Vintages Tailgate Party, "you’re a Cab Franc slut.” Man does he have me pegged but boy was he right. There is no way you c ...
Vineland Estates 2009 Chardonnay
"For this price it's gotta be unoaked," I say to myself as I'm looking at the wine list at the tasting bar at Vineland Estates ... but it's the smell and flavours that gives it away completely: a nose of lime, white peach and mineral with a taste that mix ...
