NOTE BY THE WINE BARON: An
astoundingly popular varietal, this wine is less austere
than many PGs. It displays enjoyable fruity tones of
fresh, ripe honeydew melon, smoky pear and a hint of
apple on a crisp finish. |

2006 Viewpointe Ideal Pointe
Chardonnay - Barrel Fermented VQA
|
NOTE BY ZOLTAN SZABO:
A full and rich white, Burgundian – style, with quince,
yellow plums, lemon mousse, vanilla, oak spice bouquet
and palate; with spicy cedar, pineapple finish; and it’s
just great already, although I am sensing that it’s not
even fully integrated yet, and can just benefit from
further aging. 4 + stars out of 5. |

2002 Viewpointe Focal Pointe
Cabernet Franc VQA

NOTE BY ZOLTAN SZABO:
Comes from a “reserve year”
as the lady behind the tasting bar explains. Dehydrated
black fruit, tar and dried flower petals, little leather
and some nutmeg aromatics here. Medium plus bodied and
dry with soft, chalky tannins. I like it despite the
very low amounts of delicious bret. Drink now. – 4 stars
out of 5. |

2005 Viewpointe Balance Pointe
Cabernet Merlot VQA
|
NOTE BY ZOLTAN SZABO:
Has a small amount of Petit Verdot blended in it to add
more acidity and colour. Aromas of raspberries,
cranberries, blueberries, deep spice, fermented tobacco
and orange rind. Medium to full bodied, still very
youthful and fresh, with lots of ripe fruit and smooth,
sweet tannins. The long finish sports interesting herbal
flavour notes. And it’s just getting released, so hurry
up and call the winery, you won’t regret. Perfect with
beef stroganoff. - 4 + stars out of 5. |
