Inniskillin Montague Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007, VQA Niagara Peninsula, Single Vineyard Series

Aroma seemed juvenile yet expressive with notes of cardamom and earth. Speaking with one of the wine masters during my tour, this 2007, as well as the 2004 vintage; can be laid down for as long as 10 years to enhance and mellow the still-young structure.
Lets hope that in a decade, the wine i toasted my 7th anniversary with is as refined and lovely as my 14th.
Sampled 12-Mar-2011 at the vineyard.

Château D'argadens 2006, Ac Bordeaux Supérieur

A little bit dense but still fruit forward. Smooth structure, firm tannin and nice vanilla finish. Appears to be out of stock at my favorite LCBO; thankfully, I do have a bottle in my wine rack. Tasted 30-Nov-2010

J. Bouchon Sauvignon Blanc 2010, Maule Valley

There finally exists a wine i couldn't bring myself to sip.
The pale straw color is very lovely for a delicate Sauv Blanc, but the scent is so overpoweringly uric i literally recoiled from the glass. I sniffed again and shook my head. Nope. Can't do it.

Coopers Creek Sv The Limeworks Chardonnay 2008, Hawkes Bay

Popping the co…er… unceremoniously torquing off the screwcap and pouring into the glass the pale gold vino seemed almost thick. The aroma is of sweet citrus with hints of ginger and spice. A full-bodied mouth feel is lush and smooth – hazelnut dominates with a that charge of dryness to make the subtle oak flavors become almost profound. This is why i love New Zealand wine!!

Sterling Vintner's Collection Chardonnay 2008, Central Coast, California

...light scents of butter-cream, pineapple and orange. The palate is full and mouth-filling, the tropical flavors carrying through to a decent finish...

Mas Des Bressades Cuvée Tradition Rosé 2010, Ac Costières De Nîmes

Indeed intensely colored, floral and herbaceous nose, powerful mouth feel and an open, refreshing airy gasp of dried lavender on the finish.

Campo Viejo Crianza 2007, Rioja

Lusciously ruby in the glass, a complex aroma of mixed red berries and rich spices, through the 13.5% alc/vol; fills the nose. An underlying layer of toasty vanilla adds to a woody complexity. Astonishingly light on the palate, sharp flavors of black pepper quickly soften to smooth velvety tannins and a long herbal finish with notes of pampas leather and toasted coconut.
Smooth and easy-drinking, full and subtle with a sense of adventure at decent price tag.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.

Caliterra Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2009, Colchagua Valley

This inexpensive wine has a moderate stone-fruit nose with hints of roasted coffee. The body is medium, very alcohol evident and finishes very very long. Too long. The finish negatively affects tasting other things like say - the food I was trying to enjoy. I won't drink this again.

Yalumba Y Series Shiraz Viognier 2008, South Australia

Complex and exotic, the peppery shiraz is balanced beautifully by the floral notes of the viognier; cinnamon and black tea from the shriaz is softened to herbaceous violet-ness with the viognier.
Wonderful wine sipped all by itself.

Bottega Vino Dei Poeti Prosecco 2014, Doc

An ample mousse balloons in the glass to subside quickly – revealing an ever-so-pale yellow glinting with a subtle pinkness whose moderately-sized bubbles rise in even columns. The nose is that of melted plastic and petrol with notes of marshmallow and Castor sugar. Medium-sweet on the palate, this sweetness is the only sensation other than the fizz.

If this vino is to be used to toast the instant of the occasion and drained by your already-half-wasted guests, perfect. If it is to accompany a food course, forget it.
