Clear, very deep garnet. Nose of plums and forest floor with spices and a hint of mint. On the palate it is medium-bodied, fruity and soft, with blackberry and cherry flavours, all elements being in good balance. Could be kept another year.
You have here a quintessential New World Cabernet. Purple-ruby in colour, it shows an earthy, tobacco and blackcurrant nose with a cedary note. Medium-bodied and dry, spicy flavours of cassis and dark chocolate fill the mouth finishing with ripe tannins.
Tree and stone fruit are at the core of this somewhat lighter Gris. Add in nuances of flowers, smoke, spice and banana, and you have an easy-drinking, food-versatile white. Dry with a crisp personality and hints of minerality finalize everything.
Stainless steel fermented and French and American oak aged for 16 months after secondary fermentation. Forward ripe red berry aromas precede a plush and plummy mocha and cassis palate framed in approachable tannins with balanced acidity with some herbal notes through a lengthy close.
Lightly floral and fresh with citrus aromas and flavours. Hint of fresh herbs, subtle and elegant, finishing with a hint of blanched almond and nice length. A lovely match with whitefish and shellfish.
Malivoire continues to lead the Gamay revolution in Ontario. Pepper, raspberry, strawberry, earth, red flowers and cocoa. Excellent length and ready to drink or can be cellared for a couple of years. Serve with burgers topped with blue cheese or spaghetti topped with an Italian sausage ragout.
Pungent citrus, chamomile and nutty notes with a slightly bracing edge, enticing, finishing dry, intense, salty and saliva inducing. Go with the typical matches of Iberico ham, Marcona almonds, olives, Manchego cheese and the like, but also try with sashimi.
