The nose is open and inviting, with lemon-citrus and stone fruit mingling with wet stone minerality. It’s focused on the palate with a heady mix of fruit and minerals in a taut style that’s buoyed by racy acidity. Put away in the cellar for 5 years.
Ruby red core with garnet red rim. Complex bouquet of cherry, prune, spice, tobacco, pencil lead and balsamic notes. Well structured, elegant and harmonious, yet bolstered by ripe, powerful tannins. Cellar 5‒10 years and then open for contemplative conversation.
Dry with citrus, lime, grapefruit, white flower and hints of honey and herbs. Crisp, refreshing with a long citrus aftertaste.
From old vines planted in 1984, red fruit and savoury notes on top followed by a vibrant, juicy palate with underlying freshness and acidity; bright raspberry and mulberry tones on the medium-bodied palate wrapped in gentle tannins before a juicy end.
This, the inaugural release of Bomidon Estate’s Vintage Blanc de Blancs, was matured for more than 80 months prior to release. It shows pale, burnished green gold in the glass with very fine mousse. Bouquet is complex and powerful with elegant citrus fruit, vanilla and toasty brioche. Opens on the palate with elegant lemon citrus intensity, good weight, racy acidity and bracing mineral grip. There is potential here to develop further richness and complexity with additional cellaring. Another Home Run for Nova Scotia Traditional Method bubble.
Clear deep garnet. Fairly intense nose of ripe blue and black berries; also maple syrup. Lightish-bodied, cranberry and raspberry fruit-driven with marked acidity. Good match for a casual shepherd’s pie dinner. Drink soon.
Clear, pale yellow. Peach, pineapple and orange aromas, accented with a bit of oak, on a fairly robust nose. Medium-bodied and fruit-forward (peach and citrus flavours) but zesty acidity and a slight bitterness on the long finish keep it interesting. Great value for a house Chard. Drink up.
