Sprucewood Shores Riesling  2009

Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery has been on a roll lately with their new releases. Three fanastic Chardonnay's, one barrel fermented, one with a little bit of oak and the third with no oak at all. With all the chardonnays going on their Riesling could easily be overlook but you will be missing a real treat if you do.

Excellent value paired with a fanastic Riesling make this a great summer time choice. Looking for a refreshing summer time sipper? This is it. It's light enough to sip on, lots of tree fruit such as peach and lemon followed by a wonderful mineral backbone to make this one the most complete, complex and balanced Rieslings sold in Essex County.

Winemaker’s Notes:
This syrah has a bright bouquet of sweet tobacco with hints of green pepper. Rich flvours of ripe berries, graced with well structured tannins, are so delightful on the palate. A great match with rie cheeses, grilled earthy vegetables anf grilled chiken or pork.

Smith & Wilson Syrah 2006 Review

Shiraz, dry, Watercress Creek Release

Award winning wine:
ACWC Silver & Ontario Wine Awards - 2008 Bronze

Winemaker’s Notes:
Deep dark red wine. The bouquet suggests cinnamon and blackberry and a whiff of pepper. It tastes soft and mellow with a lick of pepper and blackberry with a soft chocolate finish.

Our syrah pairs well with a freshly roasted spring lamb, or veal. Good with prime rib or pizza too.

Price: 750 mL $18
