A golden nectar with notes of honeyed almonds, candied peach and fresh lemon. The bright lemon balances the sweetness resulting in an elegant dessert wine. Pair with a baked apple tart glazed with caramel and candied walnuts. A delicious treat!

2017 was not an easy vintage for Niagara which makes this wine even more extraordinary. The fruit is predominantly ripe yellow apple with hints of meyer lemon and ripe peach, the palate is soft and mouth filling with buttery popcorn and vanilla. The flavours linger, this wine insists on being enjoyed and savoured. A must try for all Chardonnay lovers. Can be enjoyed now or stored for 3 to 5 years. A perfect pairing with boiled lobster dipped in butter or a creamy pasta dish such as fettucine alfredo.

Tradition

Love this wine! An elegant Pinot with notes of fresh bing cherries, savoury spice and hints of cinnamon. An earthiness that adds depth balanced with a mouth watering acidity. The taste lingers. While this wine is ready to enjoy now, the structure and acidity suggests it could also be cellared for the next 5 to 7 years. Serve with duck confit, creamed parsnips and an arugula sour cherry salad.

Joy Premium Cuvée

Featherstone Joy Premium Cuvée Sparkling 2013

Jisun Hahn scored this wine: 92/100

This delightful sparkling wine would be a wonderful choice to bring to your next holiday gathering. Produced in the traditional method yet offered at a very reasonable price. This wine is a Blanc de Blancs (meaning 100% Chardonnay), the aromas are crisp lemons, freshly baked brioche and tart green apple, the palate is quite similar to the nose with elevated acidity balanced with a nice creamy finish. A true tantalizing treat for the palate. Lovely paired with lemon garlic butter scallops or simply on its own to toast any festive gathering.

Special Selection

Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Jisun Hahn scored this wine: 92/100

A gorgeous full bodied red that is both intense and elegant at the same time. Dark luscious cherries dipped in chocolate intermingle with savoury basil and plum compote. Smoky tobacco leaves lie underneath and that finish lingers on and on. Pairing this wine with filet mignon covered in bone marrow jus with a side of sauteed rapini and garlic would be a decadent but well deserved treat.
