Essex Wine Review

Winemaker’s Notes:
A gift for the sweet tooth! Soft, sweet Lechee fruit complements a background peach of peaches. Very enjoyable sweet wine that stays light and fresh in the mouth.

Winemaker’s Notes:
A wonderful expression of Merlot that exhibits bold and intense licorice and plum notes. The mouthfeel is clean and full bodied with a dry finish. This wine is perfect for aging and will show it’s best in 2-3 years.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Our 2009 barrel chardonnay is a new and exciting version compared to previous years that melds the best of both worlds. The crisp and fruity character has been preserved with noticeable fruit forward while the midpalate displays coconut and the finish lingers with a gentle flavour of butterscotch.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Clean and refreshing on the palate with flavours of strawberry and cherry, this wine ends in a semi-sweet finish. Perfect for sipping on the patio or pairing with spicy dishes, salads, and fresh fruit. The 2010 Rose is a blend of lightly pressed Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir grapes.

Rate and review Sprucewood Shores Lady in Red 2008

Winemaker’s Notes:
The 2009 Pinot Noir exhibits a jammy black currant nose with a hint of black pepper. A characteristically light body lets the fruity palate of plum come forth and the good acid backbone makes this an excellent food wine. This wine has a wonderful ruby red colour and carries just enough dry tannins
to capture the flavour on your mouth and linger for a moment.

Winemaker’s Notes:
A very interesting white wine that displays a fruitier character than typical chardonnays. Explore the essences of banana, melon, and a hint of citrus as the wine washes across your palate. These flavours linger pleasantly after the wine has been consumed.

Winemaker’s Notes:
This year’s single varietal cabernet sauvignon is an easy pleaser and priced accordingly. Experience it’s nose of black current then delve into this medium bodied wine with strong backbone that presents the essence of dark berry.

Winemaker’s Notes:
Brilliant! Full bodied and delicious this wine offers the palate a rich variation of flavors to explore. The bright aromas of red licorice and cherry reflect in a wine exhibiting great balance amongst fruit, acid, tannin, and body. The mid palate is lush and hints at black cherry, with an excellent finish that lingers on the tongue and in the mind. Enjoy.
