Taken from the vineyard winemaker Deborah Paskus might know best, the S. Kocsis Vineyard in Beamsville - Closson Chase swears they'll be nixing Niagara fruit in the coming years, but when a Chard is made this deliciously it makes you wonder why. The nose has dried apricot and peach with buttery hints while the palate doles out baked apple, vanilla and a long spicy finish. Price: $34.95 - Rating: ****+
