Essex Wine Review

Winemaker’s Notes:
This regal variety is simply, supple and elegant! Sweet herbaceous aromas are followed by ripe plum flavours with a memorable finish. Will age well until 2015. Match with wild game, prime rib or full flavoured entrees.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Crisp and refreshing, our Pinot Grigio has a fruit, flower and mineral aroma, with a touch of lemon or citrus flavour. An excellent choice for spicy and barbecued foods, as well as white meat dishes.

Winemaker Notes:
Excellent, smooth, medium bodied wine, softly cellared in our French oak barrels. Lovely finish. A blend of 85% Zweigelt and 15% Cabernet Franc, giving black pepper and current flavours. Zweigelt grows wonderfully here at the Erie Shore. It is an early season blue vinifera. Matched with grilled meats, white meats, roast meats, pork and pizza.
