9.0

Deep violet hue, elegant legs. Nose has a rich floral bouquet of violets with spicy bramble berry perfume and a subtle hint of cherry nibs. Palate is outstanding for a 2016 (although probably has peaked) with flavours of dried fruit, prune, cedar and playful, well balanced tannins. — a month ago

Really interesting 11 years of age. Honey, butterscotch, apricot, some flowers but a secondary flavor type of wine. Chard is balanced by semillion. Tasting good. — 2 years ago

There’s a true wildness to this Chardonnay. Peaches, oats and a sour finish make a memorable impression. — 4 years ago

Very well done blend. Great burger wine. Good pepper, dark chocolate, dark berries, decent tannin with acidity towards the finish. More chocolate and berries on finish. Some oak also. This reminds me of a wannabe Cain cuvée. — 2 years ago

Ripe blackberry, black plum skin, fresh herb, sweet earth and porcini mushroom. A stunning effort for an Ontario Tannat.... but still not Uruguayan quality. — 4 years ago
