This elegant white starts with an expressive nose of flower petals, lemon and fresh herbs, followed by cinnamon, fresh lychee fruit and spice flavors. A lively finish adds to the pretty, full-bodied character. Pair with Asian, spicy cuisine.

Another impressive wine from Standing Stone. Fresh, citric flavors of fruit and lemon mingle with spicy toast on the nose, and on the palate, the wine has a creamy, luscious character, but is balanced by acidity. A lovely play of fruit and spice, with a lingering finish.

Smells rich and decadent, with aromas of orange marmalade and honey, but still maintains refreshing touches of citrus and pineapple throughout. It's thick and rich in the mouth, and finishes long, with excellent balance. This can easily compete with Canadian ice wines.

An intensely fruit-driven nose of raspberry and blueberry is touched with tobacco and forest floor. Almost a bit sweet-tasting in the mouth, with ripe tannins and candied cherries wrapped in pie crust.

Blueberry, black cherry and red berries on the nose are followed by structured but slightly tart red fruit flavors on the palate. Diverse spices and some oak add weight and balance the edge. The wine is generally food friendly and flavorful.

Just a whiff of this deep gold Vidal Blanc reveals layers of smoke melded with honey and fresh apples. The palate is deeply complex with flavors that include pretty florals, rich pineapple, citrus and a compelling smoked nut skin note. The super-long finish is marked by zippy acidity and a lovely astringency.

This Cabernet-based blend boasts plenty of weedy tobacco and earth flavors that add complexity to cherry-tinged fruit. The finish combines sweet caramel notes with lemony-tart acids.

Another relatively weakly colored Pinot, but another that shows color is overrated as an indicator of quality. The intense aromas of caramel-cola, black cherries and wet dog give way to a medium-weight, silky palate that offers dark chocolate and cherry flavors. Delicate tannins on the finish suggest black tea, but this isn’t an ager.
