Winter 2009

---

2007 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc
Single Vineyard, Creekside Estate Vineyard

Already a Gold Medal winner thanks to its performance at the 2009 Ontario Wine Awards, this lush, tropical Reserve Sauvignon Blanc has been well worth the wait. Hailing from the Creekside Estate Vineyard bordering the winery, it shows every ounce of its 2007 heritage. Extended bottle ageing has allowed it fully integrate and come into its own. A spectacular expression of vintage, varietal typicity, and style. $24.95

2008 Reserve Viognier
Single Vineyard, Queenston Road Vineyard

Following up a Cuvée Award winner from 2007 is no easy task, but the 2008 is already being touted by wine writers as our best Viognier yet! Highly varietal, poised and impeccably balanced, our Queenston Road Vineyard has produced is a focussed and refined expression of this aromatic white grape. Less than 100 cases produced. $25.95

2007 Broken Press Shiraz
Single Vineyard, Queenston Road Vineyard

As an iconic Creekside wine, the Broken Press Shiraz sells out faster than we can keep up! Combine that with the fact that this one is from a year that the wine critics are hailing as "the vintage of the century" in Niagara, and we don't expect the 2007 to be sticking around for long. This co-fermented Shiraz/Viognier has earned Best Syrah/Shiraz honours at the past three winemaker-judged Cuvée Awards and we've got high hopes again this year. $35.95

2006 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Single Vineyard, Queenston Road Vineyard

Cabernet Sauvignon from the Queenston Road Vineyard has undeniable pedigree, having been the back bone of Reserve blends at Creekside for many years. The warmer growing conditions at this site ensure ripeness year-to-year, with a vibrant fruit core and fine, integrated tannin. The 2006 spent nearly three years in barrel, giving it depth and maturity despite its bottle youth. With big shoes to fill following in the footsteps of multi-gold champs from the 2004 and 2005 vintages, we have no doubt that it's up for the task. $31.45

2006 Reserve Merlot

A classic Merlot with the finesse and structure that has the winemaking team whispering that it might be Creekside's best Merlot...ever. Richly textured, this four barrel blend spent 33 months in predominantly French oak. The result is a seamless combination of bright fruit, oak spice, and fine tannin that's had plenty of time to gain depth and complexity. Less than 100 cases produced. $31.45

2008 Undercurrent Muscat/Sauvignon Blanc/Gewurztraminer 500mL

Sometimes winemaking experiments are borne of necessity as was the case with this crazy blend. Two barrels worth of Muscat were fermented in old French oak, but at the end of ferment the question arose: what do we top them with? Answer: Whatever else we had at the time that was finished ferment, so one was topped with our best Sauvignon Blanc of the vintage and the other with top-notch Gewurztraminer, creating the tasty triple variety blend you see here. With only 47 cases made, the decision to bottle in a 500mL means we have more go around, but it's stll a rarity. $17.95

2001 Signature Grand Meritage 1500mL -- Library Re-Release

Dusted off from the Creekside Wine Library, we present this one time offering exclusive to Cellar Club members. Our 2001 Reserve red wines have been ageing beautifully and are now drinking very well. Thirty bottles of this large format Meritage blend have been found in the Library and are available only to you, individually numbered with a hand written label by our winemakers and a waxed top, all packaged in a very snappy wooden crate. $60.00
