Our first vintage is one to get excited about. The 2010 vintage was very kind to both grape varieties in this blend and produced a rich, ripe red with plenty of weight and complexity. The Cabernet Sauvignon gives lush texture with black raspberry and currant fruit. The Shiraz gives lighter fruit and black pepper spice notes. The palate is rich, smooth and has enough stuffing to stand up to a variety of grilled meat dishes. Drink 2012 – 2018

Reviews

• “This is the first vintage for this blend and a damn fine wine from the LCBO’s general list. It has a rich and spicy nose of black currants, blackberries, bramble bush, cherry and spice. The palate reveals ample tannins with the fruit to match. Look for lush black fruits, a hint of cherry-kirsch and plenty of pepper spice through the long finish. Can cellar for a few years.” Score: 89 Points, Rick VanSickle, Wines in Niagara. July 2012

• “A constant producer of great Ontario big reds, Creekside Estate Winery does not disappoint with their first Vintage of Cabernet Shiraz. The wine offers a bouquet of pepper, meatiness and fresh raspberries and a palate of warm spice, blackberry and currants. Ripe tannins and good texture combined with a lengthy finish demonstrates the potential for a well-priced Niagara Red.” 4 stars, Vines Magazine August 2012
