Billed as ‘a cheeky blend of Cabernet and Ontario’s newest favourite, Baco Noir,’ this easy-drinking wine is dense purple in colour with a cedary-herbal nose of black fruits; medium-bodied, slightly sweet, spicy, clove, and blackberry flavours; fruity but firm and commercial.
This Riesling shows lovely lime, grapefruit, peach, minerals and subtle ginger notes on the nose. It has a perfectly dry impression on the palate with a range of grapefruit, apple skin, lime, slate minerality and decent acidity through the finish.
40 Knots took Schönburger and Pinot Gris grapes and fermented and aged them on the skins in Italian terracotta amphora. It has a gorgeous nose of marmalade, citrus rind, mulled apple, peach and tangerine. On the palate, this unusual wine displays a tasty broth of fresh orchard fruits, subtle herbs and hops that would pair nicely with a range of cheeses and charcuterie.
This wine has a rich nose of apples, vanilla toast, minerals, elegant barrel spices and underlying lemon and citrus. It is pure sophistication on the palate, a proper and graceful Chardonnay with a sense of place that shows the fine minerality of the vineyard and lovely toasted oak that works well with the baked apple, pear and spice flavours that are well-balanced to the very end.
This Riesling has such a brilliant nose of expressive lime, grapefruit, ginger and wet-stone minerality. It’s perfectly dry and refreshing on the palate with a tart citrus core, racy acidity, texture and driving minerality through the racy finish. Very fine terroir-driven Riesling that will age quite well.
Orchard fruits and buttery vanilla notes precede a mouth filling palate of apple, pear and butterscotch with a touch of sage, good length and a creamy finish.
From Sundial Vineyard on the east side of Black Sage Bench. Vibrant orchard fruits and vanilla notes precede a well-textured, creamy and balanced palate of stone fruit, citrus and tropical tones with well-managed oak, moderate acidity and a lengthy, buttery end.
