Cabernet Severnyi |
”What
a pleasant surprise. This is the first wine from Quebec that I have tasted
and my first taste of the hybrid Cabernet Severnyi. Deep purply red in
colour, spicy with cloves on the nose with just a hint of oak. Crisp and
balanced acidity, smooth tannins. This wine reminded me of some what of the
Okanagan merlot’s that I have tasted. It is my kind of wine – not an over
powering Aussie fruit bomb, but an elegant and somewhat old world style
wine. Big enough to work well with grilled red meats such as lamb chops
right off the BBQ. As to its ageability – It is drinking wonderfully right
now so why risk it changing.”

VENICE
Pinot Noir |
Very impressive - my first taste of a grape wine from Quebec. I was shocked
to hear that Quebec actually has more wineries (not all grape wine
producers) than British Columbia. So I blind tasted it side-by-side with a
BC Pinot Noir and was impressed indeed.
Undoubtedly this is a young wine but its extremely pretty, feminine in fact,
with loads of lilacs and rose petals, raspberry and vanilla notes, a hint of
blueberry and undertones of spicebox, leather and forest floor. It is
light-bodied and silky with bright red fruit flavours, sweet spice and
cedar. The tanins are smooth and fine spice flavours linger on the finish.
Bravo. >

Nose: Quite restrained on the nose with just a hint of fruit and a touch of
elegant woodiness. Palate:Very good sweet, jammy mostly cherry fruit with
just a hint of pine and finishing with a touch of vanilla. Comments: An
enjoyable, full flavoured red that tastes halfway between Bordeaux and
California.
