We visited this winery 22 days ago. The tasting room staff was poorly prepared and questions were met with stammering. The wines are average for the area. The restaurant looks nice and was crowded at lunch time. They refused toi allow BYO at dinner, so we dined elsewhere. The wines:

2002 INOX Chardonnay, 13% alcohol, $30-
Citrus and wet gravel nose. Light cirtus flavor. 81

2004 Viognier, 12% alcohol, $14-
Tropical fruit nose. Light. A little sharp. 80

2001 Cabernet Franc Reserve, 12.5% alcohol, $25-
Wet earth and cedar nose. Smooth. 84

2002 Arcanum Bordeaux type blend, 12.5% alcohol, $40- Cigar box nose. Berry flavors. Young. $40? 82

2001 Cabernet Franc Icewine, 10.5% alcohol, $55-
Honey cherry nose. Juicy red berry flavors. Very good. 92


Just one more sip.

I assume you have not tried their 2003 Inox Chard which is $19.95. Very surprised by the price difference between 2002-2003.

Maybe the 2002 isn't selling well.


Just one more sip.
