The air of a Merlot, with the joys of all the rest — 7 years ago
Floral and slightly off dry, but well balanced. Not cloying. A great match for bacon-wrapped cherries 👌

Pale straw with a hint of green. Grassy meadow flowers on the nose. Vibrant acidity support the grapefruit and rose palate. Medium length on the finish. Very pleasureful. — 9 years ago
Wine tasting notes: mother-of-pearl, a handful of desert sand, cymbal-crashes, and pumps. Finish of tight leather and a little too much thigh. Pairings for this wine include cosmology, creaky old doors, butterfly knives, and circles. — 9 years ago

WOW 2013 Canadian Silver winner. Needed decanting but a great choice — 12 years ago
Floral fragrance with a palate that's reminiscent of a viognier with lots of white stone fruit (white peach/Asian pear), a juicy acidity up front that's soothed out with wet rock minerality. Overall a wonderful and interesting white from North of the border — 6 years ago

Light and fruity. Almost an effervescent quality. Lime zest and tartness come through on the finish. — 6 years ago
What an absolute amazing wine. This is truly one of my favorite VQA’s. Subtle spice, strong fruit, light finish. Nothing too complex but just perfect. — 7 years ago
The 2006 Rusty Shed Chardonnay is a blend of four blocks of Chardonnay on the Flat Rock Property. Grapes are hand picked and hand sorted before whole bunch pressing takes place. It was then cold settled in stainless steel, 100% barrel fermented and left on the lees for 10 months. Wild and commercial yeasts were used for primary fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity. The result?
Beautiful example of a mid to full bodied Chardonnay with butter, vanilla, apples and light spice on the palate. A lot of flavour and elegance at this price point. Sampled this 2006 in 2017 but this should sit well and perhaps develop more for a few more years. Best part? It's from Niagara! Loved it!

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. — 6 years ago
