stephen andrews: #326 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon; This is a special occasion wine. Opened on September 10th 2010. The aroma smelled of spice box chocolate. The taste was complex with berry fruit and the wine still contained tannin which leads me to believe this wine still has some aging potential. A real pleasure to have tried a wine that by its numbers of bottles is very rare. We look forward to trying more Cabernet Sauvignon from Five rows.
Dorothy & Lyle Beaugard: #327 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon
Eric Wong: #392 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon; Earth & blueberries on the nose, dark red ruby colour, good concentration with lingering mouthfeel of blueberries, sweet tannins, good integration, elegant cab sauv with very good stuffing, impressive, showcases what notl cab sauv can express.
Frans & Jeannette den Boer: #509 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon; We have just - December 15, 2010 - drunk this wine that we bought when we visited in October.
It is excellent to drink now and within the next two years. It has a delicate nose. Purple colour. It is full of red forest fruit flavour. The aftertaste is a long lasting pleasure. It is such a pity that we were able to take only the one bottle with us to The Netherlands. It pairs fantastically with a good filet of beef. If only we could have more of these undiscovered beauties. Kindest regards, Frans & Jeannette den Boer

2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Eric Wong: #35 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Blueberry, dark purple colour, big concentration, black & blue fruit flavours, built to last & age, massive cab sauv, more concentrated than the legendary 1991 lot 31/66 john marynissen cab sauv, full bodied, substantial cab sauv, best ever from niagara that should age for 15+ yrs, great wine.
Todd Aubin: #50 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON
Richard Hueston: #51 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Our bottle is 50/600 but someone else has registered that one!Anyway, just finished ours on the week before Christmas 2011. Wonderful wine!
John de Jong: #76 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Opened June 2017. Wonderful fruit and spice/leather notes. Still had a nice tannin profile, but it was extremely well integrated.

Martin & Susan Côté: #149 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; We will put this world-class cabernet sauvignon away in our cellar for quite a while...as hard as that is going to be! I would go as far as saying that this is not only the best wine I have ever had from Canada but one of the best wines I have ever had period! This bottle is a pure work of art, from the label to the precious juice inside.
Laurie MacLeod: #167 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Saving for a special occasion.

Rob Ferguson: #263 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; I was happy to pick up the 2007 from Five Rows and to meet Wes Lowrey. The vintage was such an exceptional one that holds great hope. I will lay them down for a while, periodically looking at them and admiring the label. When to drink, who knows, when I do though memories of Five Rows and my visit to the winery will be on my mind.
Rob Ferguson: #266 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; See #263 above.

Michael Klassen: #387 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; A “Library Update” of my own:
Lauren and I opened a bottle (387) of the 2007 Cab. Sauv to celebrate the birth of our daughter (July 23, 2012). It was very very nice!!! Still has quite a fruity nose, along with vanilla, and a hint of tobacco. This wine has lots of life left in the bottle, it took a good while in the glass to open fully. Flavors of nice ripe fruit on the pallet, still lots of tannins at play, and a very long smooth finish!
Cheers to another well crafted vintage Wes!
Laurie MacLeod: #446 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Saving for a special occasion.
Laurie MacLeod: #449 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Saving for a special occasion.
R & A Carson: #453 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Wonderful bottle paired with cheeses,shared before dinner with friends.
Martin Côté: #457 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; This one will be put away for quite a while, it is well worth it!
Eric Wong: #467 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; The depth and intensity of this cab sauv showcases how we can deliver ripeness, flavour, length and longevity. It will so hard not to sample this wine early even though it is a benchmark Ontario/Niagara cab sauv that will stand up to old world blends in 10+ years.
Keith: #518 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Just opened to have with BBQ lamb and roasted greens. Great depth and intensity June 15, 2015.
Amanda & Tony Dingman: #522 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Enjoyed it at dinner in NOTL. In hind sight we should have bought a few more from the restaurant to bring home and keep.
Stephen Marson: #532 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Finally opened a bottle. Great wine for a special dinner!!
Hank & Barb Van Moorsel: #543 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; The whole family finally together for Christmas. Great way to share a great bottle of wine. This bottle was placed in the cellar the same year I retired , and like me has aged splendidly.
Tony Rollo: #579 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Resting at 57 degrees......
Don Borody: #586 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; Still waiting for the perfect event
Wes Lowrey: #595 2007 CABERNET SAUVIGNON; April 1, 2017 - opened with Grandma and Grandpa to celebrate the birth of baby Frances. This ten year old Cab Sauv still packs a punch! Each sip reminds me just how ripe the grapes were in 2007.

Bruce & Wendy Dunning: #61 2007 PINOT NOIR
Eric Wong: #170 2007 PINOT NOIR; Old world nose of spice, earth & red berries, raspberries with a raspberry/cherry finish, good structure, needs time, very good expression of notl pinot, compared very favourably with the 2007 pinots from the bench.

Jane and Dino Lavacca: #40 2007 Sauvignon Blanc; we enjoyed 2 bottles of your wine at our wedding ceremony, the 2007 Sauvignon Blanc and a bottle of 2004 cabernet sauvignon. Although our opinion is somewhat biased we really enjoyed the wine and found it to be of great quality
Daniel Shapiro: #111 2007 Sauvignon Blanc; We served this to friends who came (in part, at least) to taste what we had been finding in our Niagara winery trips, and it received universal acclaim. We drank it all by itself, and it stood up well to the scrutiny.

We had it as a white to start off the evening with smoked salmon and it was sublime! Smooth - it has developed complexity with deeper and richer fruit tastes I think and will still be saving a few bottles into next year - it just keeps getting better.
William Tiger: #293 2007 Sauvignon Blanc
Barb & John Mitchell: #347 2007 Sauvignon Blanc; We opened this lovely bottle to celebrate my birthday the beginning of the month. It was truly a great way to celebrate. Enjoyed the last glass taking in the stars with some of our Tollers. To the Lowery family thanks for making such a great wine and the visit we had with you the other week. John and I will be back for more.

Kent and Belinda Dykstra: #437 2007 Sauvignon Blanc; We saved this for a long time, but could wait no longer. It was shared with our good friends James and Jan during a turkey dinner in October 2014 in Surrey, BC. It brought to mind green apples with a touch of honey. It was just as good as the taste we got on the day we bought it at the winery. Very nice!
Kent and Belinda Dykstra: #442 2007 Sauvignon Blanc; Bought on a 2009 visit to the winery after a wonderful conversation with Mom Lowry. Enjoyed with Thanksgiving dinner in 2010. Wonderful!

Anders Treiberg: #257 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon; Wes and family. Thank you for your tour of your winery and for the tasting back in 2011. Being from BC we were a bit biased against Ontario wines.

So were bottles 52, 58, and 51.
I proudly and confidently served these bottles during Christmas festivities with friends and family one night.
The complexities, silkyness and delicate smooth finish were enjoy by all but especially savored by discerning palates.

Looking forward to your wines for years to come!

We spent a couple hours with them and felt we were family when we left, we left after a week of being in Niagara and talked about our highlight being five rows winery, that is how hospitable the Lowrey family was to us.

Michael Klassen: #381 2009 Pinot Gris; Shared with family on Dec. 23, 2010. Scent of pears and honey, with a slight melon undertone, and the faintest hint of "spent matchstick" , just a wink from the time spent in oak. A beautiful softness on the pallet, but not too soft! Honey again, and vanilla lingering in the mouth.
Too good not to share!
Agnes & Peter Dim: #472 2009 Pinot Gris; Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Lowrey for a lovely afternoon. What a wonderful experience.

2009 Pinot Noir

Matt: 2009 Pinot Noir
stephen andrews: #13 2009 Pinot Noir; Tasting #3 In my opinion the wine is ready to drink and enjoy. The aroma, Strawberries, cranberries, and cherry.

Looking forward to next years bottle opening if I can resist the temptation not to open another soon.

Jefferson & Sally Mappin: #439 2009 Riesling; Just had your wonderful 2009 Riesling with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with mushrooms. Another meal that fit so well with the meal. Green apples in the nose with a milder mix of tree fruit and minerality that made the meal a treat.

Greg Bender: #237 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon; Stewed plums and berries, anise and current, with surprisingly strong, yet balanced, tannins. The structure in this would rival anything from a cool climate region (France for example) and something that would surprise anyone. Was a great year and Wes, as always, did a great job.

Tracey Vadera: #666 2010 Pinot Noir
Nina Penner: #703 2010 Pinot Noir; Red fruit and a wonderful earthiness on the nose. Sour cherries with soft tannins and still a good amount of acidity on the palate. We paired it with duck breast with sour cherry and thyme sauce, red wine farro (made with a cheap Baco as this is far too precious!), and snap peas. The sour cherries brought out the fruit in the wine and the acidity in the wine balanced the fattiness of the duck--a perfect pairing!

John Luxat: #1285 2010 Pinot Noir; An excellent Burgundy style Pinot. Avoids the New World tendency to overstate the fruit. Would like to recommend this wine to The Lowery in Manchester UK, an upscale tech venue - however, that depends upon whether you wish to step up volume.
Whatever you do, keep up the production of a wonderful Canadian wine!

David F Simon: #806 2011 Pinot Noir; another goody
David F Simon: #807 2011 Pinot Noir; ready to roll classic
Matthew Shaw: #820 2011 Pinot Noir; This wine is made by a family-based craft winery tucked away in the St. David�s Bench appellation in the Niagara Peninsula wine region which we have visited and thoroughly enjoyed. The hospitality provided by Wilma was personal and friendly. Who doesn�t like this story of 5th generation grape farmers who are now crafting their own wines. The five rows of Pinot Noir were planted in 1984, making them now over 35 years old � probably Canada�s oldest Pinot Noir vines. This wine is ruby/garnet in the glass and bricked like you would expect in a wine of its age and pedigree. The nose is not intense and has notes of strawberry, sour cherry and allspice. On the palate this light to medium bodied wine is lithe and elegant with great structure and balance. Definitely Burgundian in style and substance.
Lisa Johnson and Michael Armstrong: #854 2011 Pinot Noir; Amazingly luscious and elegant! Opened for our 15th anniversary
Terry Koehler: #928 2011 Pinot Noir; And 1080 and 1118. in the fridge with the burgundies, waiting

Andrew Dickson: #127 2011 Riesling; Enjoyed while we stayed warm indoors on one of the coldest nights of the year.
Ray Taylor: #187 2011 Riesling; Eloquent rendition of a classic Reisling. While lacking in minerality, this wine comes alive with a well seasoned BBQ chicken with peppery notes on the finish. Superb nonetheless.
Bruce & Wendy Dunning: #326 2011 Riesling; Unintentionally lost track of this one in the cellar - opened January 2024. Bready with beautiful fruit and honey - a wonderful surprise.

Dmytro Babenkov: #81 2011 Syrah
Brendan Villafana: #121 2011 Syrah; Wes took some time out of his day to talk and walk myself and fellow classmates, visiting from Manitoba, through the original five rows earlier this spring, shortly after bottling the 2011 vintages. A very fun and insightful experience that ended with a tasting of course where I fell in love with this bottle (still with the Shiraz title before it had been switched to Syrah). This wine will wait in my case till the time is right. I cant wait to meet it again soon and know when I open bottle 121 I will love it all over again.
Dave Novak: #309 2011 Syrah; Opened 3/11/2017. A bit disappointed with this one. Had been stored in my celler, but the cork seemed to have decomposed; soaked 3/4ths of the way through and broke when i opened it. Wine wasnt totally corked, but definitely tasted very thin. Still had some pepper on the palate but was not as good as the 2012 I had recently opened. I still have a 2010, and hoping that doesnt have the same problem :(
Lucas and Staci Cook: #326 2011 Syrah; This was absolutely delicious, I wish my glass would never end! We drank this tonight with a wild pheasent and mushroom dish, so good!
Lora & Joe Milkovic: #417 2011 Syrah

Dan & Danelle Dickinson: #13 2012 Sauvignon Blanc; Lucky #13. Paired perfectly with a Christmas Eve seafood feast.
Jefferson & Sally Mappin: #156 2012 Sauvignon Blanc; I brought the bottle up from our cellar before the holidays for us to enjoy with something special. After the ice storm and five days without power our plans had changed. One night I was scrambling some eggs and having a little smoked salmon on the side when Sally brought out this lovely bottle. The fullness of the lychee and apricot fruit rounded out the natural dryness of the wine with an underlying sweetness that made me wish that there was a whole case downstairs not just the bottle that we finished that night. Thanks!
William Brown: #408 2012 Sauvignon Blanc; Gift from friends introducing us to the winery. Have yet to enjoy.

2014 Sauvignon Blanc

Nina Penner: #33 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Our last Sauv Blanc of this marvellous vintage--very sad. One of the reasons I love your Sauv Blanc while I pass on most others is the incredibly complex nose, a far cry from the NZ stereotype. This time, I got lychee, fresh cut grass, lemon, pineapple, and lemongrass. The palate had an excellent acidity, great for the asparagus risotto I served it with. Somehow it manages to be both refreshing and also surprisingly weighty for a Sauv Blanc. The flavours from the nose carry through. The tasting note mentions grilled pineapple: spot on!
Jeff Elliott: #71 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Enjoyed this bottle for our anniversary! The lightness went well with our margherita pizza. Thanks again Five Rows keep up the good work!
Wes Lowrey: #133 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Enjoyed on a beautiful Sunday night at The Epicurean with family and friends. Paired surprisingly well with my Clams and Chorizo!
Christy & Sal Ismail: #254 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Enjoyed this bottle in Calgary on my last night of maternity leave. It was absolutely wonderful! We are not usually fans of Sauvignon Blanc but this is our new favorite!
Scott Cooper: #270 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; My wife and I opened this bottle to have with our Valentines Day meal. I made a tasty Red Thai Curry dish with Icelandic Halibut. This wine was outstanding. We believe Five Rows has the best wines in all of Niagara and this bottle of 2014 Sauv Blanc did not disappoint. It starts with a nice Green Apple Crisp, followed by a semi sweet tang and finishes with a clean and dry take away. My only regret is that its gone and it was our last bottle. Time for another trip to Niagara soon I think. Thanks again for your passion, craftsmanship and delivery of remarkable wines.
Terry Petherick: #450 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; june 15/18 - seems to have mellowed a bit . still striking with lots of fruit and refreshing acidity.
Dan & Danelle Dickinson: #451 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Paired with a nice piece of seared tuna. At some point we stopped eating the tuna and just enjoyed the wine.
Frederick Kuehn and Jessica Hanzlik: #594 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Gooseberries, milk chocolate, lychee and tangerines. Good acidity and well balanced.
wilma Lowrey: #652 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; We had this bottle with a wonderful fresh fish dinner at Spencers on the Waterfront...WONDERFUL!
Bruce & Wendy Dunning: #989 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Enjoyed again on November 8, 2019 with visiting friends. We love the crazy petrol and exotic fruit thing happening in bottles we have hung onto - this ages beautifully.
Bruce & Wendy Dunning: #993 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Enjoyed at Thanksgiving 2022 - mellowed fruit with more viscosity,
Bruce & Wendy Dunning: #996 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Enjoyed October 18th, 2019 - drinking beautifully
lynda deboer: #1102 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; we opened for dinner today. Still crisp and tart. slightly sweet, but I expected that with aging. absolutely no loss of flavour and quality. Cheers,
James MacRae: #1573 2014 Sauvignon Blanc; Was recommended to us by a most excellent server at Zees in NOTL. Categorically one of the best Sauvignons we have ever experienced, comparable to the best in the world.

Excellent typicity and transparency, these old vines speak well of the potential for Pinot Noir in Niagara. It would be fun to ply around with different massale or clones here to see what else can be made near the Lowery site.

2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

Eric Wong: #281 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon; Over 3 days the cab sauv evolved from more blackberries to cassis and cherries. Paired with rare beef it took the edge off the tannins. Will be interesting to see how this evovles vs the 2015. Needs a few years of bottle age.
Sharon McKay: #740 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon; Drank this recently with grilled filet mignon. Seemed a little tight when first opened, but became more fragrant and the tannins softened after it had breathed for 45 minutes. Red currant and raspberry fruit with a vegetal undertone--maybe cedar? We enjoyed it and will likely open the second bottle we have of this vintage in the coming winter.
Nicole Butt: #990 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon; Amazing as always. Five rows is our gold standard of wine
Gord Walker: #1070 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon; Had to consumer this bottle to make way for our current bottles from Fiver Rows in my "cantina"...and sure glad we did, as it was delicious as usual...Cheers!

2016 Syrah

Paul Dearborn: #14 2016 Syrah
Charles and Kristin Baker (nee Brunsdale): #124 2016 Syrah; The 2016 Syrah is da bomb! Its body is uniquely complex. When paired with beef or a mild game meat, It presents a leather-pepper sharpness.
When paired with a salty or salty and creamy cheese such as Parm Reggiano, triple cream brie, or a Goat Brie, it transitions into an exceptionally smooth and fruitier delicacy with notes of currants and blackberry. An absolute must to accompany game meats and charcuterie and for those who usually lean towards Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Dagmara Lulek: #148 2016 Syrah; We had this for our 7 year wedding Anniversary! (We drank it Sep 2019) It was fantastic. All your wines are and we always look forward to them. Also love the Pinot Noir which i did not keep the bottle to register.
Mikayla M Ozorio: #155 2016 Syrah

Michael Klassen: #40 2017 Riesling; A wonderful example of what a few years of aging can do for a Riesling! Still dry and acidic, there is plenty of fruit left here. Starting to develop those petrol and flinty notes that characterize aged Riesling!

Tons of red fruit, herbaceous, mostly garigue, spices, white pepper, some vegetal notes, green pepper...all this also found on the palate, but with added vanilla and fresh crisp acidity! Joy in a bottle!

Sharon McKay: #731 2018 Riesling; Enjoyed this bottle of Riesling on March 2 with a pork loin roast, seasoned with Herbes de Provence. Proved to be an excellent match; the apple undertones and clean acidity of the wine complemented the richness of the pork and the herbal flavours of its drippings; also seemed to work well with mashed potatoes, butternut squash and sweet red cabbage side dishes. Five Rows wines continue to please and amaze us.
Bruce & Wendy Dunning: #975 2018 Riesling; Lots of depth in this one... opened July 2022
Mike Mooney: #1181 2018 Riesling; Unopened

2018 Sauvignon Blanc

David Evans: #6 2018 Sauvignon Blanc; whatever you have available
Grace Klassen: #152 2018 Sauvignon Blanc; We were lucky enough to have a bottle of this exceptional Sauvignon Blanc brought to our home to enjoy with dinner.

Upon lifting your glass the delightful aromatics are just a hint of what is to come. Passion fruit gently caresses the palate with the initial sip, followed by the beautiful balance of acidity and tropical fruit as the wine unfolds.

I can think of many delightful food pairings for this wine; it certainly was amazing with our bruschetta chicken!

Alternatively, lingering over a glass of this Sauvignon Blanc with no other culinary distractions would make for a very fine evening indeed.

I�ll be dreaming of this exclusive wine and hoping that someday I might be fortunate enough to have another glass.

Thank you Katie and Robert for sharing with us????
Alex McLaren: #220 2018 Sauvignon Blanc; Another stunning Sauv Blanc from Five Rows.

Deborah Levere: #140 2019 Pinot Gris; Initially, the aroma of this wine when first opened presented mineral notes with some underlying peach. As the wine opened up and warned up a little the peach aroma and taste became more noticeable. Throughout, the balanced texture and acidity was a joy. A hallmark of Five Rows wines. This wine is truly indicative of terroir.

We have not seen eachother in 29 years. I served Fillet Mignon, asparagus, corn and potatos with your amazing Cabernet Sauvignon. Everyone enjoyed the wine! A compliment since my friend is a chef in Port Chester New York....and knows her wines. Excellent! We still have a couple of bottles for another special occasion. Thank-you for the excellent wine!

Richard Hueston: #344 Filtered 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon; still drinking wonderfully in 2013
Bruce & Wendy Dunning: #364 Filtered 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon; I must say this was an amazing bottle that we opened up this past weekend (July 3, 2011). It was full bodied, velvety in texture, still extremely fragrant and deep dark red. Although this bottle was very well developed, I will keep the other 2004 Cab Sauv for another year or two as I believe it will continue to develop into an exceptional wine.
