Château Cantemerle

Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Lovely - a charming value from the Haut Médoc. Rusty strawberry, raspberry, crushed stones, piercing acidity and gentle tannic focus. Easy and delicious. 5th Growth. #sommcon — 7 years ago

Château de Beaucastel

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2009

Herbal and still rather tannic and youthful. Leather, mushroom, tobacco, thyme, rosemary, dusted plum. Some redder tones emerge from the black fruit core - strawberry even. A pleasant rusty patina with some gentle, welcome bitterness on the finish. — 7 years ago

Silvio Giamello

Vicenziana Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2011

A nice Rusty Garnett with nice rim variation.
The nose tells me there's some candied cherry strawberry, potpourri, anise and tar.
The pallatte stays a little lighter than other nebbiolos(true to style-the drink of Queens) but to truly enjoy, enjoy some food with it and decant this thing-the tannins are not joking around. A lovely wine.

Flat Rock Cellars

The Rusty Shed Twenty Mile Bench VQA Chardonnay 2006

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!

Bisson

Marea Cinque Terre White Blend 2015

Cinque Terre means five lands. Yellow with gold hue, lemon and tangerine peel, crushed rock, wet stone and rusty blade. On the palate: slightly flint, high acidity, apricots, lemon curd, yellow bouquet floral note, silky texture with smooth coating in the mouth. Say 12.5 % abv on the label but feel more in the mouth. Min 40% Bosco with Max 40% Albarola/Vermentino combined. — 7 years ago

Bouchard Finlayson

Galpin Peak Pinot Noir 2015

Vibrant rusty-red colour, slightly brown on the ridges from aging. Pronounced legs. Intense nose of dark cherries and dried plum with chocolate and wood. Medium acidity, strong yet smooth tannins, dark cherries, big mouth-feel and long-lasting finish, fantastic wine! — 7 years ago

Château Haut-Segottes

Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Geoff Troup
9.2

Dense and concentrated for budget Bordeaux. Seven years old but a lot of life left in it. Heavier focus on Cab Franc yields bigger funk at first. An hour in the funk dials down to a more spicy, black pepper quality. Mid palate fruit before rusty, dusty, Brett-y tannins dominate the finish. Tremendous with duck confit appetizer and hangar steak entree. — 8 years ago

Château Gruaud Larose

Sarget de Gruaud Larose Saint-Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006

Second wine of progressive climate-concious second growth of the left bank; Dark ruby with clear 10-year aging rusty tones; the most dominant on the nose is a exciting minerality with dark red fruits, spices, and oak in the background; taste is silky sweet and very well balanced and with a long elegant finish. Very nice wine that is probably not too many years away from its peak. — 9 years ago
