Essex Wine Review, Wine of the Month, February 2012
Wine of the Month - February 2012
Colio Estate Vineyards 2008 Gamay Noir 

There is not a large production of Gamay Noir in Essex county and when it does find its way into a bottle of wine it is often used as a blending grape.

Colio's Gamay Noir is Lake Erie North Shore only 100% Gamay wine!

Tasty spice and black pepper notes along with a nice balance of cherry fruits are the recipe for this delicious red wine.

Colchester Ridge Estate Winery (CREW)

Winemaker’s Notes:
This very popular wine has a bright straw-like colour while displaying a clean, grapefruit-citric fragrance. It is grassy with good minerality on the palate. This Sauv Blanc has a clean, crisp finish. A great refresher on its own. Also excellent when paired with Poultry, Pork, or Sea Food.
