Closson Chase ‘Closson Chase Vineyards’ Chardonnay 2013
VQA Prince Edward County $27.95 12.5% alcohol
Notes of minerality and baking spice aromas mingle with hints of orchard fruit. Deftly balanced and decidedly sexy, white nectarine and racy citrus bathe the palate adorned by creamy texture and firm structure—it was aged 16 months in French oak barrels, less than 18% new. Purity of fruit persists through the aftertaste along with wisps of oak, nutty nuances and oodles of charm. (Vic Harradine)

Grange of Prince Edward County ‘Northfield’ Cabernet Franc 2010
VQA Prince Edward County $35.00 14.0% alcohol
This is a stellar Cab Franc showcasing the fabulous 2010 vintage, decade-old vines and judicious use of seasoned French oak barriques. Toasted herbs, tobacco and dark berry fruit aromas herald a rich, luscious, beautifully balanced river of black currant and dark black cherry coating the palate, infusing the lengthy aftertaste. It’s nicely structured with depth, persistent purity of fruit and charm—each sip is as good or better than the previous. (Vic Harradine)
Grange of Prince Edward County ‘Estate’ Gamay 2012
VQA Prince Edward County $20.95 12.8% alcohol
Lively spice and cherry aromas interlace with hints of cedar and earthy notes on the nose. It spills over the palate with a balanced river of spice-infused red raspberry, currant and wisps of red cherry. It’s medium bodied with good mouth feel and a racy tangy surge of sour cherry on the finish and aftertaste—clean, crisp and lip-smacking good. Pour with lasagna, pizza or pasta in tomato sauce.

Grange of Prince Edward County ‘Select’ Pinot Noir 2012
VQA Prince Edward County $21.95 12.7% alcohol
Baking spice and red berry fruit aromas provide segue for a delightful, value-laden imbibing experience—kudos to winemaker, Caroline Granger. This Pinot Noir is mid weight and balanced on a pin with well-integrated oak and moderating acidity framing delectable red cherry and red berry fruit supported by soft, fine-grained tannin. Made for food, it’s incredibly versatile—duck, veal, chicken and turkey love this wine… and so will you. (Vic Harradine)
