  Really delcious stuff. So much complexity. Tons of spice and red berry fruit. This is rich, full, and intense. It is a full blown dessert wine for my tastes.

  The incredible body and complexity of this wine are thanks to 100% of the grapes used undergoing 103 days of drying or appassimento. Subtle nuances of marzipan and ginseng are present amongst a back drop of sour cherry, cocoa, coffee and leathery notes. Christmas cake and brandy-chocolate are framed by a wonderfully balancing acidity, leading to a fantastic, round and supple finish. The depth and intensity in this wine will only improve it with age! It is an excellent match for grilled or roasted meat and game prepared with stewed fruit or compotes, as well as with full flavored cheeses and chocolate.

  Paso Robles wines (and a couple more) (Scott & Jo's): This was given to us blind and we had to guess what it was. With the help of a lot of clues, we did determine Niagara Cab Franc. It is apparently made in an Amarone (appassimento) style. I was told this was the most expensive wine on the table. Purple in color but showing brown at the rim. The nose has cherries, dried cherries, some milk chocolate, and spice. The wine is slightly sweet, but not that much. Spice, dried cherries, some depth to it. Light tannins. I could not get a gauge on whether the crowd liked it. I did but it was more interesting that great. IIRC, 2007 was one of the few very good vintages for red wines in Niagara.

  Rich, almost port-like in texture and intensity. Very fragrant nose, a minute or more of finish. Absolutely delicious.
