> Thomas Barton Réserve Saint Emilion 2010

Wine Enthusiast - Buying Guide: 88
"Some wood aging gives this Merlot-dominated wine a full structure, with attractive tannins and juicy black fruits. It is ripe, full-bodied and very approachable now."

> Thomas Barton Réserve Margaux 2010

Wine Enthusiast - Buying Guide: 88
"A softly textured wine, this has richness coming from black and red berry fruits. Wood and juiciness combine well in this attractive wine that will be ready to drink in a few months."

> Thomas Barton Réserve Sauternes 2009

Wine Enthusiast - Buying Guide: 88
"A rich wine that strikes a good balance among tropical fruits, acids and a dry botrytis core. It shows notes of sice and honey, with apricot juice acidity. This is ready to drink."

> Tomas Barton Réserve Graves Blanc 2011

Wine Enthusiast - Buying Guide : 87
"Wood aging has produced a well- rounded wine. It has a citrus flavor to go with the more tropical fruit, a good zing of acidity and a crisp aftertaste. Drink now, or age over the next year."

> Thomas Barton Réserve Privée Médoc 2008

Wine Enthusiast - Buying Guide : 87
"While the aromas speak of wood aging,the fruit comes trough on the palate. It is firm, full and dry, and the fruity acidity and fresh black currant flavor backs up the structure."

> Partager Reserve Merlot 2010

Top 50 Value wines at the LCBO
"The Partager label has been in our market for decades so it was due for a makeover. This wine is varietally labelled as merlot and vintage dated 2010 and comes from Pays d'Oc in the south of France and is a great buy. Expect a deep purple red with mild aromas of black and red berry fruit. It is full bodied and flavourful with a long dry finish. It needs some juicy grilled meat or rich cheese for best enjoyment. Decant for an hour before serving. Best 2012 to 2015."
Wine Align - Steve Thurlow (Canada)
