nv Due Sparkling Wine, 12% alcohol, $23, 60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir- Citrus, toasty, fruity nose. Fine mousse. light. 82
2003 International Series Pinot Grigio, 12% alcohol, $10- Light pear nose. Light fruit. 78
2002 Riesling Sweet Reserve, 11% alcohol, $15-
Wild grape nose. Soft. Ready. 81
2002 Merlot Reserve, 13% alcohol, $30-
Oak and dark fruit nose. A little young. Smooth. Nice. 85
1999 Cabernet Franc Reserve, 12.7% alcohol, $43-
Green pepper and black olive nose. Berry flavors. Soft. 84
2002 Cabernet Sauvignon, 12.6% alcohol, $18-
Fruit pie nose. Light. 83
2004 Vidal Icewine, 10% alcohol, $35-
Rich honey nose. Rich fruit. Excellent balance. 92
2003 Cabernet Franc/Cabernet Sauvignon Select Late Harvest, $30, made from the second pressing of ice wine grapes- Marmalade nose. Juicy. Nice. 88
If I had to pick a winery to call "average" for our visit to Niagara, this would be it. Clearly showing improvement over our last visit, it still has a ways to go, but like many of the area's wineries, their progress is encouraging. | | | |

| Thanks for the notes! I will mention this for future reference for others that might be heading to the winery. Look for both their sparkling icewines (Vidal and Riesling) as they are both quite good.
This is one Niagra winery I would be interested in checking out. | | | |
