TASTING NOTE: The alcohol on this wine comes in at 9.5% and as we get into the warmer weather this is a beautiful bottle to include on the patio. There is some sweetness in this wine but it's perfectly balanced with acidity. This wine is the complete package when it comes to everything that's right in Ontario today. This is so well priced that you can enjoy this frequently with your summer barbeque or picnics. The sweetness to this wine really helps orchard fruit soar over citrus notes and a nice mineral note that pokes through on the finish. This is a great bottle to add to cellar as this should evolve nicely over a decade (or more). Score - 4.5 Stars (out of 5) (André Proulx, andrewinereview.ca, May 25, 2017) |
