Maison Agricole Joy Hill 2023 Pastoral Sans Foi ni Loi Vivant 5
A lightly yeasty aroma gives this white a gently rustic edge while its fruit remains fresh and restrained. The palate is delicate and light, with a lively profile that keeps the wine clear and energetic. Yeast and fresh fruit share the centre without either becoming excessive. The close is clean and bright, carrying the same measured yeast and fresh character.
Wesbert 2021 Syrah
Rich plum, blackberry and black cherry give this medium-bodied Syrah a generous dark-fruited core. Baking spice adds warmth without overwhelming the fruit, while subtle caramel and leather shape the finish. Estate-grown and smooth, it is rounded and approachable, with enough savoury detail to stay composed alongside roast beef, lamb or grilled mushrooms.
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.
Fox & Archer 2022 3 Blocks Pinot Noir Okanagan Valley
Ripe cherry and red currant lead, joined by liquorice, graphite and earthy spice. The palate is poised and savoury, with whole-cluster fermentation bringing aromatic lift and fine structure. Eleven months in predominantly neutral French oak preserves the fruit while adding quiet depth, leading to an unfiltered finish of mineral and woodland tones.
Haywire 2022 King Family Vineyard Merlot
Ripe blackberry, boysenberry and black cherry lead, with savoury leather bringing definition to the fruit. Concrete fermentation shapes a supple, silky texture, while the palate remains generous without feeling heavy. Sourced from old vines, it carries a composed sense of depth and freshness through the finish. A polished, quietly sensual red with excellent table versatility.
1 Mill Road 2022 Home Block Pinot Noir
An elegant, deeply coloured Pinot Noir showing dark cherry and plum over earth, graphite and delicate spice. The palate is fresh and medium bodied, with supple, fine-grained tannins and quietly persistent structure. Large oak vessels frame the fruit without masking its aromatic intensity, leaving a poised, balanced finish. Serve slightly cool with duck, pork tenderloin or wild mushrooms.
Rigour And Whimsy 2022 A Love We All Drm
A fragrant, finely structured red with dark plum and wild blackberry, lifted by iris and scrubby herbs. The palate is slender and energetic, with black tea, crushed stone and a firm, fine-grained grip giving definition to the fruit. Savoury and mineral on the finish, it is best served with roast poultry, grilled mushrooms or herb-seasoned pork.
Cedar Creek 2021 Platinum South Kelowna Slopes Pinot Noir
Deep ruby in colour, with wild strawberry, cranberry and rosehip layered over subtle earth.

Red fruit lingers through a delicate, precise finish, giving the wine elegance without fragility. Serve slightly cool with roast duck, seared salmon or wild mushroom risotto.
Haywire Merlot Pouch 1.5 L
Ripe blackberry and plum lead into subtle herbal and savoury notes in this medium-bodied Merlot. The palate is smooth and dry, with juicy dark fruit, soft tannins and a clean, fresh finish. Its practical larger format makes it an easy choice for burgers, pizza or weeknight pasta, while the wine remains polished and approachable.
Mythology 2021 Malbec
Floral aromas open into raspberry and red currant, with a ripe, generous character from the outset. Blueberry, violet, leather and cocoa build across the palate, framed by a firm, dry grip. The finish is long and structured without losing the fruit's brightness. Serve with lamb burgers, grilled steak or smoky vegetables.
Sage Hills 2022 Red Blend
Ripe Bing cherry, plum and blackberry lead, with liquorice adding a darker, savoury accent.

Unfined and unfiltered, the palate closes with delicate, soft tannins and a composed, naturally expressive finish.
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.
Sea Star 2022 Chardonnay
Bright acidity gives this polished Chardonnay a clean, energetic frame. Green apple and pear lead, while subtle oak and toasted nuts bring gentle breadth and savoury detail. Balanced rather than overtly rich, it carries freshness through the palate and finishes with an understated nutty edge. A natural match for salmon or poultry with butter and herbs.
Blue Grouse 2024 Estate Chardonnay Cowichan Valley
Ripe apple and citrus are framed by gentle toast, a creamy lees texture and a quiet savoury note. Barrel fermentation and full malolactic conversion bring breadth, but cool-climate acidity keeps the palate focused and fresh. The finish is smooth, lightly wooded and balanced. Pair with roast chicken, salmon or creamy mushroom dishes.
Ursa Major 2023 Chapter IV: The Wheel of Shame & Appeasement
Sea salt, mandarin orange pith and Meyer lemon shape a vivid, savoury nose. The palate is textured and energetic, layering white pepper, quince, Bartlett pear and fresh yarrow over bright acidity. Saline, citrus-driven and lightly herbal through the finish, it is a compelling match for grilled vegetables, roast chicken or firm fish.
Deep Roots 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Naramata
Fresh apple and lemon zest give this a clear, bright opening, followed by a supple palate with juicy citrus at its centre. A subtle lactic, savoury edge adds character without obscuring the fruit. Straightforward and lively, it closes cleanly with enough texture for goat cheese, simply prepared shellfish or green vegetables.
Peller Family Pinot Grigio 200 mL
Light and crisp, with cantaloupe, yellow berries and pear on the nose, followed by refreshing melon and orchard-fruit flavours. The palate is extra dry and medium-bodied, making this compact bottle an easy choice for casual sipping, picnics or travel. Serve with salads, light appetizers, fresh seafood or mild cheeses.
Sage Hayward 2022 Nuance Aromatic Blend
Pome fruit, white flowers and honey shape the nose, leading to pear and bright citrus rind on the palate. A subtle toasted-almond note adds savoury detail without weighing down the wine's fresh, crisp profile. Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Muscat work together in a delicate, fragrant white with clean lines and an easy, refreshing finish.
