The Syrah/Viognier blend is heavenly, with robust fruit and delicate floral aroma. — 23 days ago

Honey, caramel, brown butter, ripe peach, and hint of lemon made this an enjoyable wine to drink and share. — 6 months ago

Nose of dark fruits. Clean and somewhat crisp. Very smooth on the palette. Could use a little aging. — 8 months ago

Very well done blend. Great burger wine. Good pepper, dark chocolate, dark berries, decent tannin with acidity towards the finish. More chocolate and berries on finish. Some oak also. This reminds me of a wannabe Cain cuvée. — 3 years ago

9.0

Deep burnt orange in color with a lighter orange cream mousse and tiny bubbles. Wonderful nose of dried apricots and honeysuckle. This is echoed on the rich (of course) palate. Lowish (medium minus) acidity — it’s Vidal after all — offset by the tingle of the bubbles. Stone fruity moderate finish. Hard to dislike any icewine, even if it’s Vidal, and the bubbles add a surprising element of fun to this one. A nice celebratory dessert wine to drink with your birthday cake or New Year’s pudding. Will likely lose some bubbles after a decade, but should satisfy through 2039 and beyond. — 4 years ago

9.0

Pale gold color and a pronounced bouquet of pear, ripe pineapple, apricot and lemon. Unctuous texture, full bodied and creamy on the Palate. A bit light in acidity so it verges on count but the long finish is very clean — 7 years ago

Amber in color with a brown hue.

Sweet nose with cherries, overripe apples, oranges, honey, apricots, lemons, honeysuckle and Indian spices.

Full-bodied with high acidity and fat legs.

Sweet on the palate with apples, apricots, ripe pears, light black tea, herbs, light earth, Indian spices and chocolates.

Long finish with honey and spices.

This is a gorgeous Ice Wine made from Cabernet Franc grapes. Very complex at this point, engaging and interesting.

This 9 year old is nicely aged, sweet and delicious, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Well balanced, sweet and easy drinking. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and entertaining.

A great dessert wine, and good by itself.

Drank from a 375ml bottle.

11.5% alcohol by volume.

95 points.

First post baby wine in 9 months. Didn't have time to plan for a decanter so used aerator and some more aeration to open it up. Dried fruit, berries, figs. Rich and delicious. Chocolate, spice, fantastic. — 10 months ago

This dessert wine has a lovely, rich golden tint. The nose offers candied apricot and honey, while the palate shows that yummy stone fruit and a touch of citrus, along with plenty of acidity. — 4 years ago

Another wine from the winery in Niagara Canada. Ruby red with a bit of brown tint. Cherry flavor. A relatively new well maintained winery, close to the US border. Wish I had time to do tasting onsite. — 5 years ago
