VINT AGE S 9

Chiles wine regions are

a string of valleys running north-south between the

coastal hills and the towering Andes Mountains.

Much like the Sonoma and Napa Valleys in California,

Chiles sunny coastal valleys enjoy the moderating

effect of cool ocean breezes from the Pacific. The hotter

central vineyards are tempered by glacial breezes

coming down from the Andes. California and Chile also

share similarly long growing seasons, which helps

ensure perfect ripeness. Latitude is a less important

factor in Chile than proximity to either the oceanor the mountains for determining wine styles.

CARMENREThis once-forgotten grape has risen fromobscurity to become Chiles signature variety.Carmenre was once widely planted inBordeaux, but following the devastation ofphylloxera in the 19th century, it wasthought to be lost forever. In 1994, the grapewas discovered to be alive and well in thevineyards of Chile (where it had previouslybeen misidentified as Merlot), and a starwas born again. Carmenre ripens even later

than Cabernet Sauvignon, which in partaccounts for its success in Chiles long,consistent growing season.

CREEKSIDE ESTATE LAURA WHITE 2007VQA Niagara PeninsulaWinner of a Silver Medal at the Ontario Wine

Awards 2009.

TASTING NOTE: This expressive white blend

needs time to come into its own, just like the

previous 2006 Laura White did. The mix of

Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Viognier

and Riesling included lots that were fermented

and aged in older oak barrels. The resulting wine

calls to mind the same adjectives used to describe

Youth Novels: edgy, experimental and winsome.

JACKSON-TRIGGSPROPRIETORS GRAND RESERVEGEWRZTRAMINER 2007VQA Niagara PeninsulaThis spicy and voluptuous Gewrztraminer was

honoured with a Gran Menzione at Vinitaly 2009.

TASTING NOTE: A terrific Gewrztraminer to pair

with spicy grilled shrimp kebabs, this juicy/fruitywine is pale lemon in colour and displays pretty

aromas of rose petals, apricots and a touch of

lychee. Its just off-dry, medium full-bodied with

medium acidity balancing the ripe and juicy exotic

fruit flavours, leading to a medium-long, spicy

finish. Well done. (VINTAGES panel, July 2009)

CHARDONNAY 2007VQA Niagara-on-the-LakeTASTING NOTE: It may be fermented and matured

in barrel, but the oak is perfectly integrated.

Aromas suggest ripe pear, vanilla, mineral, green

apple and gentle oak. Dry and crisp with good

apple fruit surrounded by the subtle oak. Medium

full-bodied with a rather long, balanced finish.

This approachable wine can be aged short term

(2-3 years), or have it tonight with roasted whole

chicken. (VINTAGES panel, June 2009)

WILDASS WHITE 2006VQA Niagara PeninsulaTASTING NOTE: A chardonnay-based blend

with smillon, sauvignon blanc, riesling, gewrz-

traminer and viognier. The 2006 Wildass hasa lovely nose of fresh, ripe stone fruit, yellow

flowers, white peach, yellow apple and really fine

integrated wood. The addition of viognier for the

first time adds the attractive floral note. The

palate is medium bodied and well balanced, with

the characteristic creamy-leesy texture for which

Stratus is known. Long, subtlety spiced finish.

A really successful wine that is ready to enjoy now,

but will certainly continue to evolve over the

next couple of years. A premium wine and a

fabulous value. Score 90. (John Szabo, M.S.,www.wineaccess.ca, Undated)

cool. At first, 06 wines made with Bordeaux grapes

were a touch muted. Now, a year or two on, the

good fruit replays, and moderate tannins bring fine

DOMDECHANT WERNERSCHESRIESLING SPTLESE 2002

QmP, Hochheimer KirchenstckTASTING NOTE: Medium yellow colour. This7-year-old wine is still incredibly youthful. The

peach, ripe apple, mineral and yellow plum

aromas and flavours are well-supported by a

vibrant acidity. Medium in sweetness to start, the

fresh tones make it seem dry. Medium-bodied with

a lingering finish. Try it with shrimp or linguine

with pesto sauce. (VINTAGES panel, June 2009)

GERMANY RED WINE

BADEN

KNIGSCHAFFHAUSEN STEINGRBLEPINOT NOIR 2005QbA, TrockenFor years Knigschaffhausen has been Badens

leading cooperative. Low yields, an ultra-modern

winery and the desire to produce quality wines

has resulted in fantastic reliability, even with

difficult grapes like Pinot Noir. The 2005 presents

a deep garnet colour, with dried berry fruits anda hint of barnyard on the nose. On the palate,

there are silky tannins, good fruit replays, and

balancing acids. Serve it with Sauerbraten

(pot roast with dumplings), spaetzle and red

cabbage WUNDERBAR!

HUNGARY WHITE WINE

ROYAL TOKAJI FURMINT 2006TASTING NOTE: This is one of an increasing

number of dry Furmints coming out of Tokaji.

From the apple, apricot and sweetly spiced nose,

through to the textured palate that shows a

mineral finish, this is a well executed, strong

wine that has enough personality to tweak many

peoples interest. Drink from 2009. Score ###

(out of 5). (Decanter, Undated)

PUGLIA

COPPI PEUCETICO PRIMITIVO 2001DOC Gioia del Colle

TASTING NOTE: Heres a great example of Italysversion of Zinfandel. The nose is a bit subdued but

opens to reveal dried berries, coffee and mineral

notes with a faint floral edge. Soft in structure

but with enough tannin to balance the fruit, this

medium-bodied style has good length and is a

nice alternative to the many very alcoholic styles

we see from this grape. This is approachable

enough to enjoy on its own. At this price, snap

up an armful (or two) to enjoy over the next few

months. Score #### (out of 5). (Mark Tandan,

SICILY

SANTA MARGHERITA SYRAH 2007IGT SiciliaAlto Adiges Santa Margherita wanted to make a

fruit-forward, Mediterranean-meets-New World

red wine. To achieve this in Italy, they sourced the

grapes from the island of Sicily, which enjoys a

warm climate. The result is a vibrant, blackberry-

and pepper-scented Syrah that is the perfect

wine for barbecued steaks, hamburgers orgourmet sausages.

TUSCANY

BANFI CENTINE 2006IGT ToscanaTASTING NOTE: Very rich and ripe aromas of

Tuscany this year. Best after 2007. Score 88.

FRIULI

BORGO CONVENTI PINOT GRIGIO 2008DOC Isonzo del Friuli(Ruffino)Located in Italys northeast, Friuli enjoys climatic

conditions that help winemakers achieve excellent

crisp structure in their wines, particularly the

whites. A real mixture of grapes are cultivated

here including indigenous, Austrian, and French

varieties such as Pinot Gris (a.k.a. Pinot Grigio).

This delicate and fragrant Pinot Grigio can be

served as an aperitif or with light dishes like

seafood pasta.

TRENTINO

BOLLINI PINOT GRIGIO 2008DOC Trentino(Empson & Co.)Natura & Passione have been Neil and Maria

Empsons guiding principles since the creation of

their Bollini line of wines in 1979. The Empsons

continue to strive to find the ultimate expression

of the best fruit from the most suitable vineyards.

With every wine in this line they intrude as littleas possible, letting the finished wine be a true

reflection of the place where it was grown. This

fresh, citrus- and melon-scented wine would

complement a grilled prawn dish.

PIEDMONT

CASA VINICOLA CORTESE BAROLO 2004DOCGTASTING NOTE: Exemplary modern Barolo with

plenty of forward fruit on both the nose and the

palate. Primarily plum, rose petals, masala spice,

leather and ripe cherry aromas. On the palate, the

wine is fairly tannic, but the fruit is quite forward

considering the youthfulness of the wine. Will

easily last a decade, but only needs about 2-4 years

to enter its drinking window. A very good value

Barolo from a delicious vintage. (VINTAGES panel,

MARCHESI DE FRESCOBALDITENUTA DI CASTIGLIONI 2006IGT ToscanaIts not every day that the price of a 90-scoring

wine from a renowned winery is reduced! Well,weve done just that, lowering the price of this

lovely summer red from $23.95 to $21.95.

Youre most welcome.

TASTING NOTE: Very pretty, with perfumedblackberry and mineral aromas. Medium- to full-

bodied, with fine tannins and a berry, milk chocolate

and cedar aftertaste. A bit lean now, but polished

and pretty. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and

Merlot. Best after 2010. Score 90. (JamesSuckling, www.winespectator.com, Oct. 31, 2008)

974394 (XD) 750 mL $ 21.95 2

RENZO MASI CHIANTI RISERVA 2005DOCGThis Chianti Riserva is a blend of 93% Sangiovese,5% Canaiolo, and 2% Colorino. Rufina ages it for

30 months in a combination of barrel and bottle.

Canaiolo adds some acidity, while the Colorino

(instead of the now-allowed Cabernet Sauvignon) is

used by traditionalists who want to add tannicstructure but keep the wine all Italian. Try this with

classic Tuscan dishes, such as steak Florentine.

TENUTA LUGO CHIANTI RISERVA 2004

DOCGTASTING NOTE: The 2004 vintage was not aslegendarily hot as 2003, but that was definitely to

Tuscanys advantage. This pretty crowd-pleaser

features aromas of sweet red fruits, plum and

gentle earth/truffle notes. Dry, ripe and fruity,this ready-to-drink wine is an ideal partner for

barbecued gourmet spicy sausages. (VINTAGES

CORTE ZOVO SA SOLIN RIPASSO 2007DOC Valpolicella

(Terre di Verona Agricola)Year after year, this fabulous Ripasso is a majorhit with VINTAGES customers. Its fruit-forward with

layers of cranberry, cherry, herb, peppery spice

and meaty notes. Dry with a medium full-body

and a lingering finish, it has the structure tomatch flavourful dishes such as roast leg of lamb

or gourmet pizza with the works.

VALPANTENA TORRE DEL FALASCORIPASSO VALPOLICELLA 2006DOCThe Cantina della Valpantena owes a great deal

of its success to the work of Luca Degani, who

has perfectly interpreted the magic moment

Valpolicella is currently enjoying. The commitment

of the member growers in the vineyards hasbeen renewed, the cellar techniques perfected

and, above all, the classic wine types have been

interpreted in a contemporary key and promoted

with effective marketing techniques. (Gambero

Rosso Italian Wines 2008)

TASTING NOTE: A simple, rustic, delicious,wine with mouth-watering red plums, cherries

and berries. Full-bodied and smooth. Foodmatches: chipotle chili, spicy chicken, rib roast,

fried chicken. Score 90. (Natalie MacLean,

VALPOLICELLA 2006DOC(Casa Girelli)TASTING NOTE: This Ripasso makes an immediate

impression with its deep colour and concentrated

aromas (cherry, blackberry, smoked meat, plums

and leather). On the palate, it is dry, fruity andwell-structured with good length on the finish. A

smashing choice for barbecued back ribs or

grilled T-bone steak. (VINTAGES panel, June 2009)

FONTAL ROBLETEMPRANILLO 2007DO La Mancha(Bodegas Fontana)

TASTING NOTE: From the hot La Mancha regioncomes this ripe and fruity Tempranillo, filled with

aromas of plum, blackberry, black table grapes

and spice cabinet. Dry with almost sweet fruits

balanced by gentle acids. The fruit and spice

mingle nicely, suggesting this wine is a good

partner for mildly spiced Asian beef dishes.

LORION CRIANZA 2005DOCa Rioja(Bodegas Bretn)TASTING NOTE: Deep red. Cherry, plum and

tobacco on the nose, with suave baking spices and

tobacco adding complexity. Supple cherry and

plum jam flavors are framed and lifted by juicy

acidity. Finishes clean and moderately long, with a

note of cherry skin. Score 88. (Josh Raynolds,

International Wine Cellar, July/Aug. 2008)

912691 (XD) 750 mL $ 15.95 2

TORRES SAN VALENTN GARNACHA 2007DO CatalunyaTASTING NOTE: (Translated from the Norwegian)

Dense and deep red-violet. Rich and full sweet

scents of plums and dark berries with hints ofspice. Full bodied with ripe and sweet fruit,

moderate acidity and a medium long aftertaste

with fine tannins. This wine is ready to drink

now, but can be cellared for two to three years.

Definitely a wine to have with meat, but its easy,

sweet style means that the meat should be well

seasoned ... Sweet fruit combined with fine

tannins make this a wine you can also enjoy

without food. Or try with well-aged cheeses, such

as parmesan, Gruyre, cheddar, etc. (Arnie

BURGNS ALBARIO 2008

DO Ras Baixas(Bodegas Martin Cdax)Albario is another variety in a long line of previously

under-appreciated aromatic white grapes (e.g.,

Riesling, Chenin Blanc and Gewurztraminer) that

is now beginning to get its long-deserved due.

Its an exceptional match for a vast array of

seafoods and paella, but also makes a refreshing

summer sipper for lounging about on the back-

yard deck or patio.

CELLER PIOL NUESTRA SEORAPORTAL 2007DO Terra AltaJay Miller of www.erobertparker.comgave this

wine a score of 90 but did not provide a tastingnote. (Feb. 2008)

TASTING NOTE: Its an undemanding wine

(blended from Garnatxa Blanca, Sauvignon Blanc,

Viognier, Macabeo), but by no means lacking in

interest. Aromas are dominated by the Sauvignon

Blanc in the blend, but tropical fruit flavors dance

on the palate, and the wines texture has thatsubtle graininess often associated with Garnatxa

(Grenache). Score 88. (Marguerite Thomas,www.winereviewonline.com, June 2, 2009)

is 100% Tinta de Toro [Tempranillo] aged for

7 months in American oak. Dark crimson-

colored, it offers an enticing bouquet of cedar,

mineral, blackberry, and floral notes. This leads

to a ripe, supple, full-flavored, spicy wine with

excellent depth and balance. Although designed

and priced to be consumed in its youth, it will

evolve for several years. Score 90. (Jay Miller,www.erobertparker.com, Aug. 2008)
