AboutRobin Ridge
Tim and Caroline Cottrill run Robin Ridge as a family winery near Keremeos in British Columbia’s Similkameen Valley. Their eighteen-acre vineyard has well-drained gravelly loam, dry, sunny days and cool nights. The vines are trained on a Geneva Double Curtain system, which spreads the canopy to manage light and airflow. The family makes aromatic whites and Chardonnay as well as Pinot Noir, Gamay and Bordeaux-style blends.
Robin Ridge 2022 Riesling
Canadian White
Honey and jasmine aromas accompany orange blossom. The slightly off-dry palate brings nectarine and peach. A long finish has pineapple, apricot and mineral character. The Riesling comes from the Similkameen Valley in British Columbia. The wine is certified organic under PACS 16-227 and carries 12.5 percent alcohol. It suits chicken, crab, spicy foods and soft cheese.
Robin Ridge 2018 Collage Meritage
Canadian Red
Clove-spiced stewed cherries, mulberry and prune lead, joined by dried violet and vanilla. The palate is firmly structured, with dark fruit moving into roast mushroom, leather and a savoury pastry-crust note. Paprika and earth bring warmth through the centre, while the tannins remain purposeful. Layered and mature, it finishes long with spice, leather and an earthy, rustic edge.
Robin Ridge 2022 Pinot Noir
Canadian Red
Raspberry, bright cherry and red plum lead, lifted by dried flowers and a touch of citrus. The palate is dry and silky, layering ripe red fruit with savoury herbs, clove, nutmeg and gentle earthy notes. Fresh acidity carries the wine through a smooth, elegant finish, making it a graceful match for roast poultry, mushrooms or veal ragu.
Robin Ridge 2021 Chardonnay
Canadian White
Starfruit, pineapple and ripe pear open the nose, joined by fresh flowers, almond and lemon. The palate is fruit-forward yet composed, with a gently creamy texture, bright limeade-like acidity and subtle notes of wet slate and ginger biscuit. A clean, lightly mineral finish suits prawns, white fish, roast poultry or buttery vegetable dishes.
Robin Ridge 2016 Frigate Meritage
Canadian Red
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.
