The word Reserve never does appear on this bottle of wine, but owner Ed Madronich says he had to give it some kind of designation when he submitted it to the LCBO for consideration. The wine itself is aged 18 months in French oak and is a "best barrel" selection (3 barrels in total) and then is further bottle aged an additional year before release. The aromas are delicately buttery with a hint of peach. Plenty of mineral on the tongue with white fruit and a delicate buttered finish which also adds to its toasted butterscotch edge.
