Okanagan Valley
Three Sisters 2016 Bench Red 750 mL
Dark berry and cherry fruit lead, with earthy undertones and a measured layer of oak. Merlot and Cabernet Franc shape a full but approachable palate, supported by smooth, refined tannins rather than heavy extraction. The texture is rounded and velvety, allowing the fruit to remain clear. It finishes with steady length, leaving dark fruit, gentle earth and a polished tannic frame.
Rigour & Whimsy 2019 Hyperdrive 750 mL
Orchard fruit leads with a firm line of acidity and a clear sense of structure. Pinot Blanc provides the wine's spine, while Viognier adds a more expressive counterpoint and broadens the aromatic profile. The two varieties were fermented separately before blending, preserving their distinct roles. The result is energetic and unconventional, with fruit and freshness held in a focused, well-defined frame.
Tender Hope 2022 Pinot Noir 750 mL
Black cherry and blueberry lead, with a measured layer of vanilla from extended French-oak ageing. Open-tank fermentation keeps the fruit clear and lively, while the palate stays rounded, food-friendly and composed. There is enough freshness to lift the darker fruit, and the oak adds polish without taking over. The finish is smooth and persistent, leaving black cherry, blueberry, vanilla and a gentle oak note.
Arrowleaf 2016 Wildblume Sparkling 750 mL
White and pink flowers open with pear blossom, melon and lifted peach. The palate is light, bright and delicate, with fine bubbles carrying the fruit across a fresh line of citrus acidity. A gentle touch of sweetness adds softness without weighing down the wine. Clean and lively through the finish, it leaves peach, melon, floral detail and a crisp citrus glow.
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.
Ursa Major 2017 Sabor a Mi 750 mL
Deep garnet in colour, this opens with blackberry, cassis and dark plum, followed by green herbs, nutmeg and allspice. The palate is dry and finely balanced, with juicy dark fruit set against a subtle saline note and a bright mineral lift. Whole-cluster fermentation lends energy and savoury structure, while neutral oak keeps the fruit clearly in focus. It finishes vibrant and composed, with blackberry, spice and cool mineral detail lingering.
Tender Hope Winery 2023 Rosé of Syrah 750 mL
Strawberry, raspberry and cherry lead, with a bright citrus note bringing lift. The palate is crisp and dry, keeping the red fruit clear and energetic rather than sweet or heavy. Fresh acidity gives the wine a clean outline, while a light floral tone adds detail through the centre. Refreshing and composed, it finishes with lingering berries, citrus and a gentle mineral edge.
Winemaker’s Cut 2019 Rosé 750 mL
Field berries, candied strawberry and white peach lead, joined by watermelon and a gentle floral lift. The palate is crisp yet creamy, with bright berry fruit and citrus framed by mouthwatering minerality. A light savoury note gives the fruit shape without adding weight. Dry and refreshing, it closes cleanly with tart strawberry, peach and a lingering citrus edge.
Cassini Cellars Quattro White Blend 750 mL
White peach and tropical fruit lead, followed by apple, pear, lemon zest and a touch of orange. The palate is creamy yet fresh, with subtle minerality bringing definition through the centre. Crushed almond and gentle spice add texture without obscuring the fruit. Balanced and aromatic, it finishes cleanly with lingering citrus, orchard fruit and a composed mineral edge.
CheckMate Artisanal Winery 2022 Fool’s Mate Chardonnay 750 mL
Subtle orchard fruit leads with pear, apricot and quince, followed by lemon, lime zest and a clear mineral edge. The palate opens creamy, then tightens around fresh acidity and crunchy fruit. Almond and freshly baked bread bring measured richness without obscuring the citrus line. Textural and composed through the middle, it finishes long and persistent with a precise balance of fruit, freshness and restrained oak.
Poplar Grove 2014 Cabernet Franc 10 Year Release 750 mL
Fragrant dark plum and mature cherry lead, with resin, cedar and gentle spice bringing complexity. The palate is soft and resolved, yet still carries its original fruit with clarity. Subtle savoury structure and a polished texture lend an elegant, old-world feel without losing its Okanagan character. Long and composed on the finish, it shows faded smoke and beautifully integrated maturity.
