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:

Lovely green apple and lime notes. Balanced, rich and full-bodied. Lanolin-infused finish.

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:

This wine is available via LCBO Private Ordering from Profile Wine Group. Tasting Notes: The nose on this wine has aromas of white peach, caramel and citrus. The full bodied palate has gentle spices with hints of cantalope, honeydew melon and vanilla. The minerality is silky and seductive with great balanced acidity. Drinkability: 2009-2016 Winemaking Notes: The wine was 100% barrel-fermented to enhance the fruit's unusually rich and complex flavours. After whole-cluster pressing, the juice was racked into 26 % new French oak barrels for primary fermentation induced by native yeasts. The entire lot remained on the lees for 10 months before racking, blending and bottling. Tonnelleries: François Frêres, Damy, Seguin Moreau. Oak types: Allier, Vosges, and Troncais. Harvest Report: the 2008 growing season started with intense storms, but quickly disappeared by spring as the valley received about about 60% of normal rainfall. The spring produced one of the longest frost periods of the last 30 years with over 21 days at below freezing and caused many sleepless nights. A cold spring turned to triple digit heat in early summer. From a season that might have set a larger than normal crop, after the fruit set, fewer clusters with smaller berries appeared to be the norm. A week-long heat spell in early September ratcheted up the picking and all fruit decided to be ready at once. Overall, the 2008 crop will have lower yields, but will be of the highest quality.
