Viewpointe Estate Winery

Chardonnay Reserve (Barrel Fermented) '06 $23.95 WHITE [IN STOCK] NOTE BY ZOLTAN SZABO: A full and rich white, Burgundian – style, with
quince, yellow plums, lemon mousse, vanilla, oak spice bouquet and palate; with spicy cedar, pineapple finish; and it’s just great already, although I am sensing that it’s not even fully
integrated yet, and can just benefit from further aging. 4 + stars out of 5.
Cabernet Merlot 2006 $10.15 RED [IN STOCK]
A light to medium-bodied very approachable red. Screwcap, lightweight bottle. Very approachable and easy-drinking.
Cabernet Merlot 2005 $13.50 RED [IN STOCK]
Yes, it's a 2005. Very Bordeaux, very Lake Erie. Classic aromas of cassis, black cherry, black currant, spice, dark chocolate, leather. Firm yet rounded tannins and good body.

2. Pinot Noir Reserve 2006 $17.95 RED [IN STOCK]
NOTE BY ZOLTAN SZABO: Is showcasing bright cherry – berry aromas with red liquorice, spicy – floral nuances. Light and fresh with strawberry and red currant, dried sage
and chanterelle flavours, and it has a warm finish. Ready to go, so drink it now. 3 ½ + stars out of 5.
Cabernet Franc Reserve 2005 $24.95 RED [IN STOCK]
NOTE BY ZOLTAN SZABO: Is just lightly high-toned with black cherry, plums and some leafy, herbaceous accents on its nose, with underlying floral nuances also. Fresh and
juicy with a pretty soft texture and spicy finish.
Cabernet Merlot Reserve 2005 $25.40 RED [IN STOCK]
NOTE BY ZOLTAN SZABO: Has a small amount of Petit Verdot blended in it to add more acidity and colour. Aromas of raspberries, cranberries, blueberries, deep spice,
fermented tobacco and orange rind. Medium to full bodied, still very youthful and fresh, with lots of ripe fruit and smooth, sweet tannins. The long finish sports interesting herbal flavour
notes. And it’s just getting released, so hurry up and order it, you won’t regret. Perfect with beef stroganoff. - 4 + stars out of 5.
