Deep Roots 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Naramata

Lock & Worth 2023 Naramata Merlot

Elephant Island 2022 Cassis
Deeply concentrated black currant fruit leads with an exuberant, almost liqueur-like intensity. The palate is rich and sweet, yet the vivid fruit keeps the profile energetic rather than heavy.

The View 2015 Well-Heeled Red
Black cherry, toffee and fruit cake lead a rich, fortified red, with late-harvest fruit giving the palate generous sweetness and depth.
