It’s colour is translucent Crayola purple with medium liquid weight and the tannic grip pairs well with the richness of CAB Ribeye, rustic garlic mash and any well buttered green veggie of choice.

St. David's Bench Vineyard Gamay Noir 'Droit' 2016

Nice, smooth, easy drinking wine to have with dinner. Medium bodied, fruity, but not sweet, which is great with a take out rotisserie chicken from Longos. Definitely, a back pocket wine for an impromptu dinner. — 5 years ago

Cave Spring

Cave Spring Vineyard "CSV" Riesling 2015

Founded by brothers Thomas and Leonard Pennachetti, Cave Spring has become a benchmark estate for several of Niagara's core varieties. My favorites, however, are their Riesling. Their CSV, coming from the oldest blocks of Cave Spring's estate property on the Beamsville Bench, represents the pinnacle of their dry Rieslings. Intensely concentrated, with a pillar of acidity and gripping stony flavors, the wine finds a taut balance between its nervy salinity and pure apple and pear skin flavors. — 6 years ago
