Pinot Noir 2006
The medium ruby garnet color that is so typical of cool climate Pinot Noirs, sets the scene for the inviting nose of raisins and cherries, with vanilla and spices from the oak as well as earthy barnyard notes. In the mouth this wine flows like satin and tastes of plum jam, cherry liqueur, vanilla, nutmeg and tea leaves. There's nothing boring about this wine-the mouth feel is firm and dry and the flavors are lingering and memorable. This is a wine for contemplation and will remain so for about two years.

Baco Noir 2006
Little known in the rest of the world, Baco is a signature hybrid for Ontario. It is intensely colored with ruby-black highlights and sings ripe black fruit from the depths of the glass, in this case rounded out by aromas of tobacco and pepper with blackberry, rhubarb, vanilla and smoke. The mouth fell is round and full with concentrated black cherry and sour cherry flavors. There are some hints of vanilla and lots of clean, fresh acidity. An ideal wine for long, cold winter nights over this year and next.

Shiraz
Famous in the northern Rhone area of France as Syrah, Shiraz has become a dinner table staple, thanks to Australia's easy-drinking, fruity style. Shiraz is now proving itself in Niagara soils with a blend of Gallic elegance and the charming fruit of New World styles. Dark ruby in color with spicy black pepper, plums and raisins on the nose, there are suggestions of tobacco and leather along with a pretty hint of lilac. Stylish and complex in the mouth, look for flavors of plums, raisins, cloves and cedar. Delightful now and will improve through 2008.
