Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

A gorgeous elixir of honeyed apricots, peach preserves and tropical fruit. A finish infused with figs and toffee. Delightful! Food matches: fresh fruit fondues, bold blue cheeses or on its own as a dessert..

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Harvest time fell on the 3rd, 20th and 25 th of January, 2008. High Pressure Vertical Basket Presses imported from Italy were used to maximize the extract from the berries. This lot of 100% Vidal was harvested from our oldest block of 25 year old vines on our 125 acre vineyard located adjacent to the Niagara River. The juice pressed from clean fruit was carefully fermented for a seven month period, with temperature-controlled fermentation (less than 15°C), using selected yeast for cold slow fermenting. The wine was both fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to highlight the complexity of stone fruit components
