Lariana Cellars 2021 Twenty One
Generous and dark-fruited, with blackcurrant on the nose and rich flavours of plum, fig and black cherry across the palate. The blend brings Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère and Syrah together in a composed, full-flavoured style. Its breadth is matched by clear aromatic definition, giving the wine depth and presence without crowding out the fruit.
Lariana 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon
Blackcurrant and fig define a bold, richly fruited profile, carrying cleanly from nose to palate. The dark fruit is direct and generous, with enough depth to make the wine a natural partner at the table. Decant briefly and serve with roast beef, grilled lamb, braised short ribs, savoury mushrooms or firm aged cheese, letting the fruit open as the wine rests.
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.
Code Wines 2022 Chardonnay Okanagan Valley
Ripe lemon, yellow apple and fresh stone fruit lead into a creamy, gently rounded palate. Bright citrus acidity keeps the texture lively, while a subtle custard note adds breadth without heaviness. Stony spice brings focus to the clean, dry finish. A polished match for roast chicken, shellfish or creamy pasta.
Synchromesh 2025 Storm Haven Vineyard Dry Riesling
Zesty lime, lemon peel and pink grapefruit lead a sleek, finely drawn palate. Racy acidity gives the citrus real momentum, while a light sherbet note softens the edges without tipping into sweetness. Dry, precise and energetic, it finishes on citrus pith with a firm, refreshing snap. Serve well chilled with oysters, ceviche or goat cheese.
Whispering Horse 2023 L’Acadie
Nectarine, mandarin, gooseberry and white blossom lead, with fresh-cut grass adding a savoury edge. Fuller-bodied and juicier than a typical cool-climate white, it remains smooth and balanced on the palate. Stone and orchard fruit carry into a delicate saline finish, giving the wine breadth without losing freshness.
Apara 2023 Barrel-Aged Pinot Blanc
A rounded Pinot Blanc with ripe stone fruit and delicate floral lift. Bright acidity keeps the fuller texture fresh, balancing its richness with a clean, energetic line. Subtle oak adds breadth without obscuring the fruit, while the finish remains poised and quietly charming. Serve well chilled with roast chicken, creamy seafood dishes, soft cheeses or grilled vegetables.
Apara 2023 Gamay Noir
A vibrant Okanagan Gamay with crunchy red fruit and an aromatic cupboard of peppery spice. Wild carbonic fermentation brings lift and immediacy, while a short stay in neutral French oak keeps the palate fresh, supple and unforced. Juicy waves of fruit carry through a lively finish. Serve slightly chilled with charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled salmon or herb-led vegetable dishes.
Scout Vineyard 2022 Gew Cab Co-Ferment
Bright floral and tropical notes lead this light, translucent red, followed by herbaceous freshness and savoury depth. Gewurztraminer and Cabernet Sauvignon were fermented together for seven days, then pressed into neutral barrels to finish fermentation and age for 18 months. Unorthodox but composed, it is refreshing with a light chill and quietly complex through the finish.
The Hatch 2020 Unicorn of the Sea
Violet and blueberry-muffin aromas introduce a plush, dark-fruited red. Vanilla bean and a creamy coffee note come through on the palate, followed by stewed fruit, brown butter and cocoa. Equal parts Syrah and Malbec, it spent 52 months in oak, finishing rich and jammy with a generous, rounded sense of depth.
Nostalgia 2021 Syrah
Cherries and raspberries open this Syrah, joined by savoury, peppery and meaty notes that give the fruit a darker, more complex frame. Fifteen months in French and American oak add shape without obscuring the wine's energy. Unfiltered and quietly textural, it finishes with a spicy, composed character that suits richly flavoured dishes and hard cheeses.
Nostalgia 2020 Merlot
Ripe cherry and juicy plum lead, followed by dried cranberry and warm baking spice. The palate is velvety and composed, with supple tannins carried by fresh acidity rather than weight. Generous fruit and gentle spice stay in balance through the finish, giving this polished red an easy sense of flow and enough structure to work naturally at the table.
Martin’s Lane 2020 Naramata Ranch Vineyard Pinot Noir
A perfumed nose has matured toward earth, mushrooms, minerals and wet stone. Rich black cherry and liquorice remain at the core, gradually giving way to a more savoury, mineral expression across a long, persistent finish. Freshness keeps the developing layers in balance, making this Pinot Noir compelling now while retaining clear shape and energy.
Lake Breeze 2018 Meritage
Plum cake and dark berries lead, layered with salted caramel and aromatic spice. The palate is dry and sleek, with a distinct herbal thread beneath toasted spice, espresso and dark chocolate. Savoury and fragrant, the blend carries its richness with polished shape rather than heaviness. Serve with roast beef, lamb or mushroom dishes.
Mission Hill 2016 Oculus Okanagan Valley
Blackcurrant and ripe blackberry form a vivid, concentrated core, lifted by a subtle floral note. Layers of earth, cigar box and liquorice add savoury complexity as the palate develops. Fresh acidity and firm tannins bring definition, carrying the dark fruit into a long, rich finish. Decant and serve with roast lamb or beef.
Culmina 2019 Hypothesis
Truffle and stewed fruit open the nose, followed by fresh black fruit and a measured oak frame. The palate is clean and mineral, carrying its depth with definition rather than heaviness. A composed Bordeaux-style blend with firm structure and a dry finish, it suits roast beef, grilled lamb, braised short ribs, mushrooms or firm aged cheese.
Artakama 2019 Pinot Noir Magnum
Delicate and floral, with fresh red blossoms woven through a gentle savoury note. The palate is smooth, round and immediately approachable, showing the sappy freshness that gives Pinot Noir its particular energy. Low tannins and bright acidity keep the generous texture light on its feet, with no sense of heat. Serve slightly cool with salmon, roast poultry or mushroom dishes.
