PIEDEMONTE CRIANZA 2006

Posted on August 1, 2010 by John Galea

A good friend of mine gave me this bottle. They call this a Crianza which is a little odd because normally a Crianza is 100% tempranillo but this one is a blend of tempranillo, cab sauv, and merlot. The wine is dark in dolor with a lovely nose of dark fruits. On the mid pallet the wine is a deep rich with some of the plum from the merlot coming through, lots of varietal tempranillo coming through and some dark fruits, cherries etc. The oak is quite pronounced but not out of control. The wine is lovely and dry with lots of tanins. The finish is on the long side, with some tartness and some nice complexity. All in all this is a lovely wine and a bargain for the price. I would give it a 90! I paired with with a BBQ’d steak and it held up very well. Thanks Manuel!

Terrace Vale Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc

Posted on July 31, 2010 by John Galea

We stopped by Hair of the Dog to check out their patio on a Thursday and I had this wine. I enjoy Sauv Blancs and I was having a cream sauce so I thought this would be a good choice. The wine is pale in color VERY mild on the nose. On the mid pallet are some light, delicate, Sauv Blanc like flavors with a little bit of citrus coming through. The finish is on the light side. Depending on your tastes you might just love this wine. It is smooth, easy to drink and the flavor does not last. It would be perfect for sitting on a patio on a hot day and you want something simple and light. You know like water … Well of course water would be cheaper 🙂 As you may be guessing this one is not to my tastes. Just not a lot going on in this wine. Lucky for us this one is not available in the LCBO. The wine comes from Hunter Valley Australia. I would give it an 87. Nothing awful about it. Just plain nothing 🙂

L’Ecole No 41 Estate Apogee 2007

Posted on July 30, 2010 by John Galea

Another wine from the Calibrium hosted L’Ecole tasting event where they showcased 8 wines from the Columbia Valley in Washington. None of these wines are available at the LCBO so you will have to buy a case from them 🙂

Alas a night has to come to an end. This is the last wine from this event. As you can tell by my write ups I truly enjoyed the wines that were presented. Not one was bad and there were a number of really good ones!

60% Cab Sauv, 30% Merlot, 6% Malbec 4% Cab Franc
This wine is again surprisingly mild on the nose. On the mid pallet the cab comes through more dominant than on the Perigee. This wine is softer with some deep rich dark fruits coming through. The wine is medium in finish and lighter than the Perigree. This is a more smooth elegant wine. So it would depend on your tastes. For me this one is not as big or bold. I would give it a 90. For $63 a bottle the price is a bruiser. Available in 6x750ml cases.

2008 Van Western Vino Gris

Posted on July 28, 2010 by John Galea

This wine is from the Naramata bench in BC and was given to us from a friend who brought it back with him. We don’t get a lot of BC wines here in Ontario since a number of them are made in small lots, so I enjoy the opportunity to check them out. BC’s wine industry are doing some great work with some unique results!

This one is a Pinot Gris. The wine is pale in color, mild on the nose with some citrus and sweetness coming through. On the mid pallet are some pronounced citrus and some pear maybe even some melon coming through. The description on the back of the bottle said peach but I don’t get that. The wine was fermented and aged in stainless steel leaving a clean smooth easy drinking wine which would be very food friendly. The wine is on the lighter side of medium on the finish. This wine is not available in the LCBO and is only made in small lots. I would give it an 88 or so. $18.80 at the winery. We paired it with a BBQ pork chop and enjoyed it on the deck at the cottage in Muskoka. Ah what a tough life it is indeed!

L’Ecole No 41 Recess Red 2008

Another wine from the Calibrium hosted L’Ecole tasting event where they showcased 8 wines from the Columbia Valley in Washington. None of these wines are available at the LCBO so you will have to buy a case from them 🙂

Onto the reds. This wine is a blend of 42% Merlot, 27% Syrah, 22% Cab Sauv, 5% Grenache, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Cab Franc and the kitchen sink tossed in for good measure. On the nose there are some slightly sweet bouquets with some strawberries coming through. On the mid pallet are some lovely deep rich dark berries with the cab Sauv coming through loud and clear. You can get some of the merlot subtly on the mid pallet as well. On the finish the wine has some lovely firm tannins, that gently coat the pallet and linger nicely. This wine has a beautiful long finish and was one of my favorites for the night. I would give it a 91. Its $29 and available in cases of 12x750ml. Yummy!

Another wine from the Calibrium hosted L’Ecole tasting event where they showcased 8 wines from the Columbia Valley in Washington. None of these wines are available at the LCBO so you will have to buy a case from them 🙂

This wine is 81% Merlot, 11% Cab Franc, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Cab Sauv. On the nose the varietal Merlot comes through with some plum. On the mid pallet is lots of lovely dry pucker power with black fruits dominating. You can really appreciate the cab Franc and cab sauv. The finish has some tannins and slight bit of bitterness but nothing too nasty. I would give it a 90 or so. Quite a nice wine. $36 available in cases of 12x750ml.

LAURENT MIQUEL PERE ET FILS CHARDONNAY

Posted on July 20, 2010 by John Galea

Pale in color mild on the nose with some chard smells coming through. On the mid pallet this wine is VERY subtle. When I first tried it I paired it with a pork chop and I must say I was underwhelmed. I suspect it was too cold. As it warmed up some of it’s character came through and it started to build in the mouth. My first though was this is simple sugar water. As it built up I started to appreciate some of the complexities in different layers that came through. In the end the wine had a nice finish, slightly tart. Don’t expect this one to blow your socks off but it is an interesting experience with a lot of patience and the right temperature. I would give it an 88 or so. Won’t be rushing out for more.

L’Ecole No 41 Semillon 2008

Posted on July 18, 2010 by John Galea

Calibrium hosted a L’Ecole tasting event where they showcased 8 wines from the Columbia Valley in Washington. None of these wines are available at the LCBO so you will have to buy a case from them 🙂 The event was nicely run at the Fine Wine Reserve and inlcuded a few cheeses, and finger foods.

This wine was the first wine they served. The wine is 89% Semillion and 11% Sauv Blanc. On the nose the wine is quite sweet in bouquet with pear screaming through and some florals. On the mid pallet this wine has some nice apple flavors with a lovely long green tart apple finish lingering nicely. I was quite impressed with the length of this wine. It is not sweet as the nose would expect. I would easily give this a 90. Quite an impressive wine. $22 and is available in a case of 12x750ml.

GRAHAM BECK CHARDONNAY 2008

Posted on July 15, 2010 by John Galea

This one is quite pale in color mild on the nose with some mild chard smells coming through. On the mid pallet are citrus flavors, slightly tart. This one is more like a sauv blanc would taste than a chard. Not a bad wine, but not a good chard either. The finish was on the lighter side of medium. I would give it an 88 or so simply because I think a chard ought to taste like a chard. I won’t be running out to grab more.

From the LCBO web site:
GRAHAM BECK CHARDONNAY 2008 VINTAGES 593475 | 750 mL bottle Price: $ 14.95
Wine, White Wine 13.5% Alcohol/Vol. Sugar Content : D

Release Date: Jun 12, 2010

Tasting Note
Citrus-, peach-, apple-, toast and mango-scented Chardonnay with a lovely round and ripe texture on the palate. Mid-palate acids come in to bring a fine balance. It’s fairly full bodied and has a long fruity/oaky finish. Try it with grilled chicken with a wild mushroom sauce. (VINTAGES panel, July 2009)

Gabbiano 2008 Pinot Grigio

Posted on July 11, 2010 by John Galea

I’m not a fan of Pinot Grigio’s. Generally I find them thin, with not a lot going on. They can be great on a patio in the heat. Light refreshing and can hit the spot. So given the latest heat wave I bought this one. I quite enjoy theiir Chianit which I have previously written up so I thought I would give this one a try. Pale in color mild on the nose. The mid pallet is quite non-descript, thin with not a lot going on. The finish is on the lighter side of medium and is dominated by a green apple tartness. Not strong, not overwhelming but dominant. I was disappointed by this wine and would not buy it again. I would give it an 87 or so.

From the LCBO web site:

Jackson-Triggs 2007 Delaine Vineyard Merlot

Posted on June 25, 2010 by John Galea

My regular readers know I am hung up on a narrow definition of what I think a Merlot ought to taste like. Sometimes I am able to decouple from that and just enjoy the wine. To enjoy this one you are going to have to do that. The wine bears no resemblance to a Merlot for me. Not on the nose, mid pallet or the finish. Now that we have that ought of the way … the wine is deep in color. On the nose are some reasonably nice cab like smells. Black fruits, some cherries etc. On the mid pallet are some nice rich black fruits to match the nose and again some cherries. On the finish the wine has some nice tannins, some pucker power and a dryness that builds in the mouth. I would even go so far as to say chaulkyness. It was pointed out by one of the folks I was chatting with while tasting it, and she was right. Thanks Ellie. All in all this is an interesting wine. I enjoyed it. I would give it an 88-89 or so. Unfortunately it is not in the LCBO so a trip out to the winery will have to be endured!

Henry of Pelham 2007 Chardonnay Speck Family Reserve

Posted on June 24, 2010 by John Galea

Another wine from the Sip and Savour wine event this wine is light in color mild on the nose. On the mid pallet are some subtle chard flavors. This is a smooth well balanced middle of the road chard. It won’t overwhelm you and would be very food friendly. It’s on the lighter side of medium on the finish. I would give this one an 88, another great patio wine. Now, for the price ($35) I think there are much better wines out there, but it is a tasty Chard …

MONTES CLASSIC SERIES SAUVIGNON BLANC 2009

Posted on June 22, 2010 by John Galea

I’ve been on a roll with great Chilean Sauv blancs. Sadly this one breaks the role. The wine is pale in color very mild on the nose. The wine has some strong green flavors and some tartness (not quite bitter) on the finish. This wine is not horrible, but not to my tastes. There are better wines with more complex flavors and a better finish. The wine is reasonably food friendly but the flavor is just not there. I bought this one on a flyer with no research. I would give it an 86 or so. For me they missed the mark.

Chateau Des Charmes 2008 GAMAY NOIR DROIT

Posted on June 20, 2010 by John Galea

Another wine from the Sip and Savour event. The grape is a clone of the Gamay Noir. The wine is dark in color (darker than you would expect) with an earty/herb nose. The nose was more like a Pinot Noir. On the mid pallet are some nice dark fruits coming through. More going on than a typical Gamay. There are some nice cherry, a little bit of sweetness on the mid pallet. It’s slightly dry on the medium finish. I would give it an 88-89. I think I will try and find a bottle of this one for a more in depth tasting. I enjoyed it. One of the highlights of the evening’s wines!

From the LCBO web site:

Medium deep red violet colour; aromas of crushed berries, mineral and cocoa; dry, light to medium bodied, fresh black cherry and cranberry, refreshing acidity; a great food wine.

Mike Weir 2008 Sauv Blanc

Posted on June 18, 2010 by John Galea

Ok, I have to admit it, I don’t like celebrity wines. I’ve ranted about this once or twice and will digress again. Having a celebrity put his or her name on a product is a throw back to the past IMHO. That said I gave this one a try. Creekside use to make the wines for Mike Weir, the person serving this at the Sip and Savour wine event last night tells me that Chateau des Charmes now makes wines for them. Interstingly enough Chateau des Charmes St David Bench Sauv Blanc is one of my favorite Niagara Sauv Blanc. This one from Mike Weir displays some similar tastes. All the usual suspects are present and accounted for, some nice lemon, grass and citrus. The wine is well made with a nice smooth finish. The price on the Mike Weir interestingly enough is exactly the same as the Chateau des Charmes one. So to be honest, I’m not sure why I would bother with the Mike Weir knowing this. None the less I would give it an 88. Very food friendly, refreshing, perfect for the patio!

From the LCBO web site:
MIKE WEIR SAUVIGNON BLANC 2008 VINTAGES 686972 | 750 mL bottle
Price: $ 15.95

Made in: Ontario, Canada By: Mike Weir Wine Release Date: Nov 21, 2009

Description
This homegrown Savvy features concentrated aromas of mineral, lemon, and grapefruit with clean grassy notes. Refreshing, with hints of ripe tropical and citrus fruit flavours and a racy, crisp finish. Enjoy it as an aperitif or pair it with fish pan-fried in lemon butter.

PHILIPPE DE ROTHCHILD SAUV BLANC 2009

Posted on June 17, 2010 by John Galea

The wine is pale in color, with a varietal Sauv blanc nose, albeit on the milder side. There’s the usual lemon, citris and grass coming through. On the mid pallet the flavors are spot on and match the bouquet. Again, citris, lemon and grass all there, present but on the milder side. The finish is on the lighter side of medium. This is a well made, middle of the road Sauv Blanc. It is VERY food friendly. I must say I quite enjoyed this one. It would go very well and would be quite refreshing on a patio on a hot summer day! Give it a try, it’s in the regular section …

Peller Estates 2009 Signature Series Sauv Blanc

Posted on June 9, 2010 by John Galea

I enjoy Sauv blancs. They have a lovely bouquet and are very food friendly. They pair well with fatty, spicy, and asian dishes as well as fish. Very versatile. Previous posts have pointed out a number of inexpensive Chilean sauv blancs This is another wine from the iYellow 44 wine event on May 26th. The wine is pale in color with a lovely varietal nose of lemon, and grass. On the mid pallet the wine is bang on with lemon and grassy flavors to match the beautiful nose. On the finish the wine has a lovely bit of crispness to it with a finish on the lighter side of medium. Very well done. I would give it an 89-90 or so … It is not in the LCBO but goes for $30 at the winery. Pricey but quite good!

Ravine Vineyard 2008 Merlot

Posted on June 2, 2010 by John Galea

This is another wine from the iYellow 44 wine event on May 26th. As frequent readers know I have issues with finding a Merlot that tastes like I think a Merlot ought to taste. So I approach them with skepticism. The wine is dark in color with a nice Merlot bouquet, some plum and a bit of sweetness coming through. On the mid pallet the wine reveals itself nicely as a smooth, well balanced, fruit forward merlot with some plums and dark fruits coming through. On the finish the wine is on the lighter side of medium with no tannins or pepperyness to it at all. There are some oak flavors but they are mild. This is for me a varietal merlot! I would give it a solid 89. It is not in the LCBO but goes for $34 at the winery. Pricey but quite good!

Strewn Chardonnay 2007 Amalgam Terroir

Posted on May 31, 2010 by John Galea

Tasted this wine at the iYellow 44 wine event on May 26th. The wine is quite yellow in color with a large nose showing off a well baked Chard … On the mid pallet are some chard flavors coupled with butter, popcorn, vanilla and oak. On the finish the wine is on the heavier side of medium with creamyness coming out. This is a big Californian style Chard. This is the kind of wine some people would call “over baked”. It is heavily crafted for sure. Lots of time in oak and some time on the lees. If you like this style of chard this is a good one. I would give it a solid 89. It is not in the LCBO but goes for $25.15 at the winery. Did I mention it’s a big wine 🙂

Brimstone Red Blend Columbia Valley 2007

Posted on May 27, 2010 by John Galea

This was the first red brought out from the Society for American Wines Phelp’s Creek tasting featuring the wines of Oregon and Portland. The wine is a blend of Syrah, Merlot and Cab Sauv. It is dark in color, with a pronoucned nose of syrah, slightly sweet. On the mid pallet this is a pretty big wine, medium to full bodied. Some nice cassis flavors, for me it almost resembled a cab franc in some ways. Some edgy tannins, but not in a bad or over the top way. The finish is medium in length with some residual sweetness left in the mouth and some tannins. This is a fairly smooth wine. I would give it an 89 or so. Not available in LCBO but $16.50 at the winery. For the price not a bad wine at all!

Celilo Vineyard Chardonnay Columbia Gorge 2008

Posted on May 25, 2010 by John Galea

Alas we get to my favorite wine from the Society for American Wines Phelp’s Creek tasting featuring the wines of Oregon and Portland. This was the third wine of the evening and is pale in color with a richer more buttery smell. The wine is quite nice on the mid pallet with some nice complexity. The oak is well under control and is not overwhelming. There’s no creamyness to it. The wine is quite well done and is even more to my tastes. If your thinking this write up sounds a whole lot like the previous one, it’s because it is very similar, just better. The finish is medium and it lingers nicely in the mouth. The great thing about it is that it is actually cheaper! Not available in the LCBO, but worth about $24 at the winery. This was my favorite wine of the evening! Yumm … I would dub this a middle of the road chard, not over the top, not over baked. Just right for me!

Unoaked Chardonnay Columbia Gorge 2008

Posted on May 21, 2010 by John Galea

Society for American Wines hosted Phelp’s Creek tasting featuring the wines of Oregon and Portland. This wine is quite pale in color mild on the nose. It was fermented in stainless steel tanks and no Oak. The wine is quite crisp and clean, and food friendly. On the finish the wine is on the lighter side of medium. The benefit of the lack of oak is that you can taste a lot more of the natural chard flavors. This one is quite fruit forward. It’s more in the Chablis style. The wine is not quite to my taste but it was nice none the less. I would give it an 89 or so. The wine is worth $18 at the winery, but unfortunately not in the LCBO. It was the first wine of the evening and an excellent place to start!

Mcmanis 2008 Merlot

Posted on May 16, 2010 by John Galea

We stopped on by Seasons one of my favorite restaurants in Oakville the other day. They have a fabulous wine cellar and I love the staff! George (the owner) stopped by and asked what we were looking for in a wine. Paulette who was with us loves Merlot’s so I asked George to bring out a Californian Merlot for us. This is what he brought out. The wine is dark in color with a lovely varietal Merlot on the nose! On the mid pallet are some lovely varietal Merlot flavors, deep plum, and some cherries. Slightly sweet but not too much. This is a typical Californian fruit forward Merlot, love it or hate it. On the finish the wine is smooth and elegant with a hint of tannins. This is a well made wine that is quite food friendly. I would give it a 90. A very nice Merlot. Thanks for the recommendation George!

ARGENTO MALBEC

Posted on May 13, 2010 by John Galea

When you need an inexpensive quaffing wine to go with dinner there are lots of choose from, not all of them great. This wine is quite dark in color mild on the nose for a Malbec. On the mid pallet the wine has some ok flavors, some cherries, alcohol is well under control and tannins are mild. On the finish the wine is on the lighter side of medium with a bit of dryness. This is a fairly smooth Malbec with the edges smoothed out. You will never mistake this for an expensive wine, but for the price it’s not bad at all. I would give it an 86-87 or so.

From the LCBO web site:
