Rick Van Sickle, St. Catharines Standard, February 28th 2010 …this iconic and much awarded Shiraz is perhaps the one wine that defines Creekside.

The similarity is no accident because the Broken Press is blended with a small amount of Viognier, after the style in Côte Rôtie. The nose has the traditional hit of wihte pepper and gunpowder. The [...]
