50th Parallel 2019 Estate Pinot Noir Okanagan Valley
Dark cherry and dried red currant lead, joined by sage, chocolate mint and a measured touch of oak spice. The palate is poised and lively, with fresh acidity carrying sour cherry and cinnamon through a supple middle. Fine tannins and savoury detail shape a vibrant, clean finish. Serve with duck, salmon or wild mushrooms.
Marrow Arancio Vermouth
Lush and fruit-led, with skin-contact Pinot Gris bringing ripe orchard fruit, gentle grip and an amber-toned depth. Lavender and chamomile add soft floral lift, while rhubarb root, yarrow, sweet cicely, bitter orange and kola nut build a layered herbal bitterness beneath measured sweetness. The finish is textured, fragrant and complex. Serve chilled over ice with a lemon slice, or use it to give a Negroni or spritz a distinctly botanical edge.
Mission Hill 2021 Reserve Merlot
Wild blackberry and dark cherry rise from a structured, full-bodied palate. Ripe dark fruit is framed by refined tannins, with French oak adding measured depth rather than overt sweetness. Rich yet composed through the middle, it closes on a persistent, polished finish. Decant briefly and serve with grilled steak, roast lamb, braised beef or firm aged cheese.
Meyer Family 2020 “B” Field Blend Pinot Noir
Toasty oak, cherry and forest floor lead a youthful, savoury nose. The palate is silky yet tightly structured, layering cherry and plum with earthy dried black fruit and a measured dusting of baking spice. Neutral French oak keeps the texture composed, while fresh acidity draws the flavours into a focused finish.
Pamplemousse Jus 2023 Léon Millot
Dark cherry and plum lead a juicy, generous nose, with woodsy spice adding depth. The palate is rich and round but still energetic, carrying ripe fruit with a lightly wild, savoury edge. A gentle sparkle keeps the texture lively, while the spicy dark-fruit character lingers through a vibrant finish.
Pamplemousse Jus 2023 Co-Ferment
Bright floral notes lead into crunchy raspberry, with a crisp, dry finish keeping the wine light on its feet. Equal parts Léon Millot and Gewürztraminer were spontaneously fermented on their skins, then aged in neutral barrels and bottled unfined and unfiltered. The result is vivid, savoury and refreshing, best served lightly chilled alongside relaxed, flavourful food.
A Sunday in August 2022 Lilypond Pinot Noir
Fresh cherry and raspberry sit over a light floral and herbal lift. The palate is supple and energetic, with semi-carbonic fermentation giving the fruit a bright, immediate feel rather than heavy extraction. Gentle savoury notes from a short rest in neutral barrel add shape, while lively acidity carries the red fruit into a clean, lightly textured finish.
Rathjen Sparkling Rosé NV 750 mL
Fine bubbles carry cranberry and raspberry across a fresh, lightly earthy palate. Pinot Noir gives the wine a clear red-fruit centre, while mineral and gentle yeasty notes add savoury depth. Traditional-method production brings a composed texture and a subtle brioche accent without dulling the fruit. The finish stays bright and finely textured, leaving red berries, citrus lift, cool minerals and a quiet bread-dough note.
Little Engine 2023 Silver Chardonnay 750 mL
Lemon drop and lime leaf lead with a bright, energetic freshness, followed by snap pea and a light note of chamomile tea. The palate is zesty and precise, with tangerine and grapefruit carried by mouth-watering salinity. A measured texture gives the citrus room to unfold without softening its line. The finish is long and clean, leaving lime, tangerine and a cool saline impression.
Golden Age Hearth & Fire Mead 750 mL
Golden honey opens into a layered aroma of apple, orange peel and sweet baking spice. Cinnamon, clove and star anise shape the full palate, while a measured herbal bitterness keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy. Floral notes lift the middle and the texture remains rich and composed. The finish is long, warming and gently spicy. Serve lightly chilled or at cellar temperature with roasted pork, aged cheese or fruit crumble.
Hillside 2020 Malbec Heritage Series
Rich dark fruit meets warm spice-cake notes in a concentrated but composed Malbec from a sunlit Naramata site. Extended French-oak ageing brings structure and savoury depth, while the fruit retains aromatic freshness and well-ripened tannins. A distinctive Okanagan red for braised beef, grilled lamb, smoky vegetables or firm aged cheese.
Code Wines 2022 Estate Pinot Noir
Red cherry and red currant open into wet forest floor, potpourri and a touch of vanilla. The palate is delicate and crunchy, layering raspberry and pomegranate over a bright frame of acidity. Soft tannins keep the texture supple, while restrained French oak and lingering spice add depth through a poised, quietly savoury finish.
Marichel 2018 Estate Syrah
Smoky dark fruit and violet lead a concentrated nose, with ripe plum, blackberry and a quiet earthy note adding depth. The palate is full-bodied and composed, bringing leather and savoury spice into balance with refined tannins. Dark berry fruit remains clear through the middle, carrying a polished, well-structured finish.
French Door 2022 Fleur
Pentage 2019 Roussanne Marsanne Viognier
Sage Hills 2022 Carbonic Pinot Gris
Cherry, raspberry and salmonberry give this skin-contact Pinot Gris a vivid red-fruited profile, balanced by delicate tannins and bright acidity. Ten days in a sealed, carbon-dioxide-rich environment shape its juicy, lightly structured character, while extended lees ageing adds texture without dulling the freshness. Energetic and quietly savoury, it works well with a slight chill and flavourful vegetable or seafood dishes.
Robin Ridge 2016 Frigate Meritage
Stewed blueberry and blackberry give this mature red a generous, dark-fruited core, while peppercorn brings a savoury edge. The palate feels rich and settled, with the softened fruit profile pointing to development rather than sheer freshness. Rounded and warming in style, it suits slow-cooked dishes and other robust flavours at the table.
Pamplemousse 2023 Sauvignon Blanc
Tropical fruit leads, followed by lively lime and a distinctly salty finish. The palate stays bright and direct, with citrus freshness bringing definition to the riper fruit and a savoury edge extending the close. Vivid rather than heavy, this is a clean, energetic Sauvignon Blanc whose appeal lies in the contrast between generous fruit and mineral-toned lift.
