FOGOLAR PICONE VINEYARD CABERNET FRANC 2022 6

VQA Vinemount Ridge, Niagara Peninsula This wine was fermented warm for 28 days in stainless steel before maturing in French oak for two years. It’s so easy to enjoy that the complexity and depth are quite beguiling delights. There’s well-integrated tannins, lifted florals, layered red fruit, savoury herbs, earthy underbrush, vanilla and spice. A great food wine; try it with grilled meats or mushroom risotto. Drink through 2028+.

Named for the red-tailed hawks that fly above the vineyard protecting vines from starlings and other pests, this 100% Merlot is fermented using wild yeast. Flavours of black fruit, cherry, cocoa, cassis and cedar will have your taste buds soaring! This rare bird is exclusive to LCBO.

FLAT ROCK RED TWISTED 2023 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula For the 2023 Red Twisted, the winemakers envisioned a Twenty Mile Bench marriage of single vineyard Wismer sourced Cabernet Franc (60%) with single-vineyard Merlot (40%) from a parcel 500 meters away from the Flat Rock winery. The components were vinified separately, brought together and aged in a combination of French and American oak. It has a rich and savoury nose of brambly raspberries, dark cherries, black currants, anise, toasty vanilla and spices. With the ripe tannins on the palate adding structure, the melange of savoury red and dark berries shines through in spades, with a lovely splash of herbs [and] spices on a vibrant finish. Good value red blend chock full of personality. Score: 89 (Rick VanSickle, winesin niagara.com, Oct. 22, 2024)

TAWSE QUARRY ROAD PINOT NOIR 2023 6

VQA Vinemount Ridge, Niagara Peninsula From vines planted in 2007, this Pinot is from one of Niagara’s most recognized producers. The 2023 vintage is one that favoured Pinot Noir. This appealing wine engages immediately with generous aromas of black fruit, leather and spice. The palate is savoury and round with excellent replays from the nose complemented by earth and cherry notes. Drink through end of the decade+.
