The fruit was hand-harvested from the Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard block planted in 1989 in the Niagara River sub-app and thinned to a restricted 2 tonnes per acre. After fermentation was complete the wine moved into new French and new Hungarian oak barrels where the wine completed malolactic fermentation and aged for 30 months. It has a powerful and seductive nose of ripe black currants, blackberries, plums, cassis, graphite, sandalwood, mocha, leather and wonderful spice aromas. All that carries to the palate and more, with an array of dark berries including concentrated currants and cassis with kirsch, rich spice notes, polished tannins and complex layers of ripe fruit that all lead to a long, energetic finish. This wine was delicious when opened for the initial tasting, but was improved greatly a day later. I suggest it will improve for 10 years plus in your cellar. The best Cabernet Sauvingon I have tasted from Niagara. Score - 94. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Nov. 4, 2019)

Reif first made this Icewine in 1984. Pressed frozen winter-hardy Vidal grapes give this wine its vibrant acidity and rich flavours of honey, herbs, poached pear, caramel and tobacco.

Clear, viscous, deep golden amber; aromatic and flavour notes of apricot, candied lemon, crème brulée, orange marmalade and honey; full-bodied and luscious on the palate, it finishes with a long and lingering sweet and tart sensation. Enjoy this decadent treat with fruit-topped cheesecake, pear tarts or foie gras.

Reif Estate's 'Let it Snow' Cabernet Merlot is ready to weather the holidays in its little red parka. It's perfect for gift-giving and pairs well with many wintertime dishes!

This Cabernet Franc is made by Andrea ('Drea') Kaiser to honour her father, Karl J. Kaiser, who co-founded Inniskillin Wines. In 2017, the Karl J. Kaiser Memorial Fund at Brock University was established, with a portion of proceeds from this wine's sales donated to it each year. This single-vineyard Cabernet Franc offers generous notes of blackcurrant, savoury herbs, vanilla and earth.

Jack Pine Wines celebrates the spirit of sustainability with every eco-friendly bottle in which their wine is packaged.

The ideal companion for cottaging and camping, pair it with grilled burgers and steaks.

From Rief's Tarot Card Series, this sparkling take on Riesling is lithe, lively, and lip-smackingly great. Full of fun and flavour, it's juicy and tangy, with peach, apple, pear, citrus, and an invigorating off-dry disposition. The modest alcohol makes it a great option for brunch, and the food-friendly vibrancy will allow it to pair with salads, grilled chicken, or your favourite spicy international dish.

They say that wine is bottled time, well check this out: Reif came into existence in 1977 when Ewald Reif purchased the land and began growing vines. They officially opened in 1983, one of Niagara-on-the-Lake's originals, and they first produced this Shiraz in 2002. The 2014 version has lots of leather and earth notes alongside dark cherry, blackberry, plum, smoke, black pepper spice with a lifted floral tone. (Vintages panel, Aug. 2016)
