Michele Castellani Colle Cristi Collezione Ca' Del Pipa Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2006
Veneto, Italy$44.95
This amarone has a wonderful bouquet of fresh fruit, flowers, mint, vanilla ice cream and slight earthiness. The palate is intense with cooked fruit and cherries, and good length. The vanilla makes me think it might be over-oaked. Nonetheless the corvina doesn't show through in all its flavours. So it's not the most representative of amarones but a very good one on its own.

Simply wonderful. Sweet, apple and grape. Smooth. Not so sweet it overpowers you. Just the right balance, that makes you keep wanting more and more and more.

Inniskillin Winemaker's Series Montague Vineyard Pinot Noir 2009, VQA Four Mile Creek, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$29.95
This pinot has a very fruity nose of lychee and fresh fruits. Reminded me of the nose you get in Inniskillin's icewine. The palate is again fresh with some citrus and good acidity. The finish is not long. There's no sense of terroir or earthiness. This is all new world pinot, clean and intense. Tasted January 2012
