1 Mill Road 2022 Black Pine Pinot Noir
A fragrant, finely structured Pinot Noir with sour cherry, cranberry, ripe strawberry and raspberry at the centre. Pepper, dried herbs and graphite add savoury definition as the wine opens. Bright acidity drives the palate, while dusty, fine-grained tannins give youthful density and length. A brief decant brings out its detail; serve with salmon, roast poultry or mushroom dishes.
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.

Generous and polished, with ripe blackberry, dark plum and blueberry joined by cedar, baking spice and a restrained savoury note.

Decant for an hour and serve with braised beef, lamb or grilled mushrooms.
La Stella 2022 Fortissimo Okanagan Valley
Bing cherry, red cherry and black cherry mingle with grilled herbs, cured tobacco and a subtle frame of warm oak.

Serve with osso buco, rosemary-crusted lamb or a mushroom cannelloni.
Lake Breeze 2022 Syrah
Dark and generous, with violets, plum, red cherry and blackberry layered over warm spice and dark chocolate.

A short decant will help the aromatic detail unfold. Serve with grilled lamb, peppered steak or slow-cooked mushrooms.

European cider apples are blended in an homage to the classic English style. The producer records a complex flavour profile and bright finish, together with balanced tannin and acidity. It is listed at six-and-a-half per cent alcohol. Profitek explicitly specifies one 500 mL bottle; that format remains proposal-only because the corresponding size term is not yet approved on the site.
