Ontario Reviews

Five Rows 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Hand crafted wine takes time and a lot of patience – they’re also fairly expensive. The love and time put into the 45 cases of this wine (~ 2 barrels) really shows in the bottle. Made from 12 year old vines this wine really shows delicacy and a deft hand of shepherding this wine into your glass. Aged a total of 3 years: 1.5 in older French oak barrels, 6 months in 1 year old American and then a further year in bottle, the wine exhibits smells of raspberry, strawberry, vanilla and spice; the flavours are even more alluring than the nose, nice fruit, spice, a little pepperyness and red cherry brings it all together. This is a special occasion wine and the occasion is now, or anytime in the next 5-7 years. Price: $50.00 – Rating: ****½
