Malivoire Courtney Gamay 2018, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment
Ontario, Canada$29.95
Malivoire has long set the standard for Gamay in Ontario. But this one is special. There is a complexity that one occasionally finds in very high-end Pinot Noirs from North West USA, or equivalents. Here you are treated royally, from the nose that greets you with delicious red fruit, to the very lengthy finish, via the subtle presence of the oak and cherries in the palate. This is a winner!
Domaine Acer Charles-aimé Robert - 10 Year
Quebec, Canada$37.00
If you enjoy the odd Port, you'll enjoy this.
Bachelder Wismer Foxcroft Gamay Noir Niagara Cru 2018, Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$27.95
Le Vieux Pin Cuvée Violette Syrah 2018, Unfined, Lightly Coarse Filtered, BC VQA Okanagan Valley
British Columbia, Canada$37.38
Had a previous vintage and thought it was outstanding. This one is even better.
Le Vieux Pin Syrah Cuvée Violette 2016, BC VQA Okanagan Valley
British Columbia, Canada$34.59
Another "wow"!
This has all the black fruit beauty of a Northern Rhone Syrah, and it's appropriately named Violette.
Paired beautifully with a roasted leg of lamb covered with a crust of almonds and Moroccan inspired spices.
