Description

A Wine Club 'Circle of Friends' exclusive!

Part of the 2017 Cab Ride Series (6 different wines total) highlighting the difference vineyard location (terroir) makes in wine. All wines in this series were vinified in the exact same way, leaving the difference that terroir makes in a wine to shine through. 
We work hard to create wines that delight the taste buds AND educate at the same time (hence the different wine series we provide).  We want you to be able to grow in your wine experience within our club.  We want you to enjoy being a wine insider with special knowledge!

Collect them all and taste for yourself- Van Bers, Briar Creek, Hunter Farms, Smith, Neumann, and Highland!

Naturally you have noticed that the 'Circle of Friends' front label for this series all look the same. These are all different wines. It is the back label that defines what wine is inside the bottle. If you look at the back label of these Circle of Friends labelled wines, you will read that they are all from different vineyards. So, please be sure to refer to the back label to know what wine you are enjoying.

Briar Creek Vineyard, near the Niagara River and nestled up to the ancient, worn shoreline of Lake Iroquois delivers “delicious” every time.  Its bright berry symphony housed within a resolved tannin structure comes at you from all directions.  The focusing seam of acidity keeps all the flavour notes defined but the overall surge of the harmonious song just happily flows over you.  There is an inner power that is palpable, but its joyful playfulness is a perfect disguise.  This wine will warmly invite you in but once there you will find it hard to escape its loving embrace.
