Rate and review Viewpointe Sauvignon Blanc 2008.

Winemaker’s Notes:
The Pinot Noir is a medium bodied, dry red wine with aromas of strawberries, earth, livorice and toffee. Gentle but firm tannins are complemented by ripe berry flavours.

Food Pairings:
Enjoy with hearty stews, game birds, grilled salmon and cheeses.

Rate and review Colio CEV Gewurztraminer 2007.

Winemaker’s Notes:
This dessert wine was made by adding Canadian Spirits on day three of the fermentation, thus raising the alcohol to 15.4% and leaving the natural sugar unfermented and then barrel aged.

A port style wine (10). Pair it with chocolate for a special treat.

Vintage: (undated)
