Seriously delicious. The most memorable cab franc I have had. — 7 years ago
Some thoughts on this bottle:
- The 22 g/L of RS show as about half that and is a component of why the wine tastes objectively delicious. I have suspicions as to why we in Niagara are a bit snobbish about RS but we really ought to get past that.
- Has just the slightest hint on the nose of the distinctive Niagara riesling note of black olive. I’m told that’s due to picking due to weather pressure and picking for necessity rather than phenolic ripeness. Will follow up as to how and when and why here.
- It’s really quite good. Definitely comfortably above average on any grading scale. But not as objectively high-quality as the chardonnay and that seems to hold true for the region. — 7 years ago

One of the better Rieslings I've tried. Minerals. Earthy. Orange.
So. Good. — 9 years ago
I’m not usually one to be a Chardonnay advocate but this one was a solid choice to pair with an overconsumption of pork dumplings. Not too buttery, teak wood, silky suede. — 6 years ago

Very smooth right away, gets better after open. More spice than fruit. Would love to get an old vine bottle from these vines in 20 years. — 8 years ago
Had a 2nd time within a week. Consistent with my first tasting. Very nice Cab with the usual suspect appeal. Would make someone a nice pairing. — 8 years ago
