CANADA ¡ RED WINE ONTARIO JACKSONTRIGGS NIAGARA ESTATE GRAND RESERVE RED MERITAGE 2022 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula Recommend decanting. A density of savoury and plum fruits with a hint of sweet vanilla and blueberry muffin. Dusted fine tannins gives this wine a lovely structure. Score: 94 (International Wine Challenge, 2025)

ROSEWOOD SAUVIGNON BLANC 2021 6 VQA Lincoln Lakeshore, Niagara Peninsula

This wonderfully complex Savvy was fermented in neutral French oak and matured 18 months on the lees, then bottled without fining or filtration. It offers notions of ripe green fruit, citrus peel, pressed flowers and savoury herbs and has the capacity to evolve through 2030 and beyond. Aromatic & Flavourful 49707 (XD) 750 ml $34.95 2

ORGANIZED CRIME CABERNET FRANC 2022 6

TAWSE GROWER’S BLEND RIESLING 2023 6 VQA West Niagara, Niagara Peninsula Always a great value, this is a reliably vibrant wine, with floral, nutty, fig, smoke and pear notes, gentle sweetness and a long, intense finish. Pair with deep fried calamari, or pork roast with crispy crackling. Aromatic & Flavourful 89029 (M) 750 ml $21.95 2

VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment A deep ‘red wine’ with just enough savory oak cedar, the [palate] here shows wonderfully leafy Cabernet Franc character and is enhanced [by] dark florals. Very Loire in the mouth in a distinctively new world style. Score: 90 (Evan Goldstein, MS, winealign.com)

THIRTY BENCH TRIANGLE RIESLING 2021 6

VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment I would call the Triangle Vineyard Riesling a classic Niagara “cru” among a handful in all of Niagara. It comes from grapes planted in 1981 to the 21b clone and dazzles from vintage to vintage and has the stuffing to cellar well for a decade or more. The nose is gorgeous with pure wet stone and seashells followed by lime, floral notes, crisp apple, peach and lemon tart. It’s quite concentrated and juicy on the palate with notes of white peach, zesty lime, bergamot, ripe apple, nectarine, waves of fresh minerality, honeycomb, a touch of ginger and a long, lifted and finessed finish. Just gorgeous Riesling here that will improve through 2035. Score: 94 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, July 2, 2025) Aromatic & Flavourful 25031 (D) 750 ml $28.95 2 Featured in Local Talent
