80% Sangiovese plus 20% Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot. Deep garnet colour. Spicy, dark fruit on the nose. Savoury flavours of tobacco, cedar and red berries. The medium-plus body displays richness and velvety-yet-rustic tannins. Long mineral finish. Serve with grilled meats and vegetables.
Blend of Malbec (36%), Cab Sauv (35%), Merlot (2%) and Cab Franc (1%) yields toasty notes with dark berry and smoky hints of black fruit and cassis on the nose. Followed by spicy black pepper and leathery hints with juicy acidity on a structured palate wrapped in well-integrated tannins before a generous ending. Excellent value.
Of late, Folly has helped pioneer Kveik (individual strains of Norwegian farmhouse ale yeast) in the Canadian market. Fresh Money uses the Arset blend, creating fruity esters in the aroma somewhere between windfall pear and jackfruit. The body is crisp and clean, with a gentle grain character that takes a backseat to the fruitiness. A rounded and practical application of an esoteric Norwegian treatment.
Straw yellow. Very expressive, perfumed nose with intense floral notes, ripe apple and chalk. Very light body, sharp acidity; intensely refreshing, ripe taste, perfumed finish. A “love it or hate it” wine.
Smoky, coffee scents and baking spice aromas. Juicy red fruits and concentrated blackberry flavours on a sweet, rich palate. Wild berries and milk chocolate linger long. Makes me crave chocolate pudding or chocolate ice cream. It’s fortified Port-style with neutral spirit to 18% alcohol. Serve at cellar temperature.
Attention-grabbing floral and raspberry aromas entice the nose. Juicy cherry and rich plum fruit flavours engage the palate, supported by an opulent texture and plush tannins. Spicy blackberry pie finish goes on and on. Totally pleasurable on its own, but delicious with red meats in a berry reduction sauce.
A blend of 6 varieties — 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc, 3% Syrah, 2% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot. Dense purple in colour with a spicy, cedary nose of black fruits; medium-bodied, dry, medium- to full-bodied, firmly structured with an earthy plum flavour enhanced by well-integrated oak and well-managed tannins.
