Does a lot of little things well. Very balanced wine, medium acidity. Well rounded mouthfeel.
Apricot and peach forward. The atone fruit goes right down to a slight wet stone note before you get to the butter tone that is so common to Chardonnay.

2018 Huff Estates Cabernet Franc Old Vines South Bay Vineyard
7/20/2021 - MitchHeimpel Likes this wine: 94 Points
Once you get past the question of whether twenty year-old vines constitute “old” you can deal with this wine on its own terms.
And those terms prove it worthy of the exception.
Black Luc price, morel mushrooms and cinnamon are what hit you right away. It’s a Cabernet that doesn’t get to the barrel almost until the end.
Medium acidity, which is amazing given its tannic structure.
Deep, rich colour.
An instant competitor for the County’s best Cabernet Franc.

2016 Exultet Estates Pinot Noir The Beloved
7/20/2021 - MitchHeimpel Likes this wine: 91 Points
Very plum forward with hints of raspberry that linger.
Exceptional colour.
Understated nose.
Wonderful mouthfeel.
Another very solid entry from Exultet. Proving it’s always worth the trip to the southern edge of Prince Edward County.

A solid Chardonnay from Queylus.
Does a lot of little things well. Very balanced wine, medium acidity. Well rounded mouthfeel.
Apricot and peach forward. The atone fruit goes right down to a slight wet stone note before you get to the butter tone that is so common to Chardonnay.
