Winemaker, Brian gave us an enthusiastic tour of the Vineland winery complete with barrel tastings and stories of how several of the wine projects came about... We bought a few bottles of various things and spent an afternoon in at the Ace Hotel in Toronto watching TV, listening to music, and burning through our purchases... This wine was a collaboration with Canadian rock legend Sass Jordan... On the nose, all lemon here... The palate moves more toward peachiness and some green herbs... Apple... Not too serious... Alive. — 21 days ago
On the nose, this feels really fresh... Bright cherry and blackberry... Maybe blueberry? On the palate, the floral side comes through... Violets play with the blackberries, but not in a big huge bomber style... Quite delicate... Some bramble intertwined with the tannin here... Bark... We enjoyed this wine so much with our Christmas beef stew... A nice length that fit the Christmas theme with spice... Memories of visiting the winery several years ago... — a month ago
On the nose, a faint cherry... On the palate, firm Italian plum, firm red cherry... Very bright up front... Above medium acidity... The finish is again felt primarily up front... Overall, not overly complex, but quite an appealing style. — 4 days ago
On the nose, this is sweet plum and raspberry... On the palate, still plums... The body is lighter than expected... Feels thin, really... Medium, peppery finish... — 11 days ago
Fantastic experience at the winery with the winemaker, then buying this bottle blind... This one had a nose of dried blueberry... Red fruit takes over on the palate... Cherry, raspberry... Plenty of warmth and a nice length... Glad I chose this one... I suspect this was a good vintage. — 22 days ago
On the nose, this is deep dark cherry... On the palate, the feeling is more plum with the fuzz on... Licorice... Earth... Pepper... Medium length that leaves the mouth with plum fuzz texture... — 2 months ago
On the nose, so savory... Black current, black cherry, blackberry and bramble... On the palate, black cherry, raspberry, blackberry leaves, blackberry, a very mellow allspice... Some acidity, big body, and soft tannins... Shortish length on the finish. — 9 days ago
Seven years after the vintage, this one shows no signs of slowing down. On the nose, green grass, tomato plant, papaya... On the palate, papaya again... Big mineral... Good acidity. Medium finish. Crisp, bright, and alive. Very enjoyable. — 19 days ago
A plummy nose... Plum, plum, plum on the palate... Some floral... Some astringency that makes this a great pair for the duck breast I ordered. Nice. — 23 days ago

On the nose, high floral... Orange blossom, white flowers, apricot skin, and green grass... On the palate, lime, dried sage, mineral, apricot... Big acidity... Apricot finish that's medium, but stays clean... 2020 seems great! We had this with a creamy linguine. — 3 days ago
