Medium garnet colour. Dried berry, walnut, leather and woodspice nose. Mid-weight, gripping palate with a dry, desiccated finish. The fruit takes a back seat to tannin, I don't dislike it, but it may have shown better balance 2+ years ago.
3/5

Intriguing old worls funk on the nose. Smoky, tomatoey, Perhaps a touch of sulfites in there as well. Palate mirrors the complex nose but with more fruit. Palate is quite energetic and racy with the acidity. Tannins are medium as is the finish. This is a decent Bordeaux substitute for about half the price. The late release really worked. I think it still has some years of life ahead.

Showing some aging in its color. Medium to full bodied. Stewed prunes, cocoa, cypress notes. Long finish! Could hold a couple more years.

*An outstanding bargain in a classically built, mature wine; amazingly the 2008 is still on the shelves for sale.

Dark berries, bell pepper and earth nose. Soft dark berry and green pepper on the palate with softened tannins and sufficient acidity to strike a beautiful balance, Lengthy finish. This wine is drinking its best at this point in time.

Dark Garnet color. Dark, savory dried currant and balsamic nose. Full-bodied, assertive and gripping. Leathery flavours, long rounded fruit finish. Tasted blind.
Comes across as a costal Tuscan - I had similar thoughts of Viewpoint wines of the 2008 vintage. Good consistency. Quite impressive.

Flat fruit nose with little fruit on the palate. Definitely past its peak this wine is certainly OK but uninteresting.

Butter on the nose. Oaky, malolactic fermentation, but not overbearing. Surprisingly fresh for this age in an inexpensive new world chard. Excellent price value ratio. Medium high acidity with medium long finish. Worked with sole in cream mushroom butter sauce.

Much like the 2006 vintage, this is a friendly, fruity, and approachable wine. There's tannin, acid, and alcohol, all balanced and integrated. Not a wine to lay down, but to enjoy both by itself and with many foods. The excellent QPR persists from vintage to vintage.

Many typical Cab Franc characteristics. Cigar box, tobacco, smoke, vanilla, and light herbal notes at first. With some breathing out comes some red and dark berry aromas with some cooked/preserved fruit notes. A great effort from a growing region within Ontario.

Light body, light flavour and aroma. A little bit of orchard and stone fruit. Perhaps some floral in there too. Lightly off-dry.
