Though not in the top tier of Niagara wineries, Calamus consistently cranks out good value. A particular strength of their winemaking is the way they can coax out attractive aromatics, aided and abetted by the use of screwcap closures to avoid any whiff of cork taint. Unoaked chards are oftimes insipid, but this one has a compelling floral/fruity nose and soft, round mouth feel.
