| We visted this winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake 17 days ago.The main building is huge and the tasting room was crowded when we first arrived, so we left and returned later. I believe there are four series of wines produced at the winery and we tasted only the top two along with the ice wines. The wines:
The first three wines were Proprietor's Grand Reserve Wines:
2004 Riesling, 11.8% alcohol, $17-
Grapefruit nose. Crisp citrus flavors. 84
2004 Gewurtztraminer, 12.6% alcohol, $19-
Light perfumed nose. Citrus flavors. Flat. 80
2002 Chardonnay, $19-
Oak and tropical fruit nose. Buttery pineapple flavors. 84
The next two wines are from the Delaine Vineyard Series:
2002 Merlot, 13.3% alcohol, $25-
Beautiful nose of chocolate and berries. Concentrated. Young. 84
2002 Cabernet-Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot, 13.1% alcohol, $30- Cedar and dark fruit nose. Blackberry flavor. A little sharp. 83
2002 Vidal Icewine, 10% alcohol, $46-
Dried fruit and raisin nose. Apricot flavor. Nice acidity. 90
2002 Gewurtztraminer Icewine, 9.5% alcohol, $63-
Musty dried fruit nose. Honey flavor. Nice balance. 91
2002 Riesling Icewine, 8.6% alcohol, $63-
Light nose of dried fruit and honey. Very sweet. A little cloying. 91
2001 Riesling Icewine, 8% alcohol, $63-
Honeyed raisin nose. Perfect balance. 94 | | | |
