A supple Okanagan Merlot with ripe plum, cocoa and warm spice. Juicy fruit and gentle structure make it a relaxed partner for charcuterie, burgers or roast vegetables.
Ricco Bambino 2018 Viognier
Golden-hued and full-bodied, with honeysuckle, orange blossom and jasmine opening into ripe apricot and white peach. Citrus zest keeps the creamy texture fresh, giving the palate balance without losing its generous feel. The finish is floral, rounded and quietly persistent. Serve well chilled with roast chicken, seared scallops, lightly spiced curries or creamy vegetable dishes.
Ricco Bambino 2019 La Serpiente S Blanc
An energetic skin-contact Sauvignon Blanc with grapefruit, ripe lemon and passionfruit, lifted by subtle hay-field notes. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with bright acidity giving the tropical and citrus fruit a clean, balanced shape. Lightly textured but never heavy through the finish, it works well with goat cheese, grilled vegetables, shellfish or gently spiced dishes.
Ricco Bambino 2017 Bianco
An oxidative white with baked orchard fruit, toasted nuts and a distinctly savoury character. The palate is energetic and layered, moving from cooked apple and citrus peel into almond, spice and a gently saline finish. Its dry, food-friendly style works well with firm cheese, flaky pastry, roasted nuts or desserts that lean more nutty than sweet.
Lock & Worth 2023 Naramata Merlot
Bright ruby and lightly framed, with juicy plum, morello cherry and wild blackberry lifted by a subtle herbal edge. The palate is fresh and youthful, favouring vibrant fruit over weight or oak. Racy acidity and soft, lightly textured tannins keep the wine nimble and versatile, with a slight chill bringing extra clarity. Pair with roast chicken, mushrooms or grilled sausages.
Ricco Bambino 2019 Paquita Pinot Gris
Ripe pear and stone fruit lead, joined by citrus peel and a gentle tea-like savoury note. Skin contact gives the palate a lightly grippy texture, while bright acidity keeps the fruit clear and energetic. Subtle earth and orange zest carry through a dry, clean finish with enough structure for the table.
Narrative 2019 Cabernet Franc Okanagan Valley
Dusty red currant, tart cherry and raspberry meet dried herbs, strawberry leaf and a subtle suede note. Concrete ageing keeps the profile free of overt oak, leaving the fruit and savoury character clearly exposed. Medium-bodied with present, slightly furry tannins, it finishes dry and herbal. Pair with sausages, lentils or roast vegetables.
Henricsson Vineyard 2021 Kajsa Chardonnay
Pear and apple meet ripe citrus and measured caramel tones from barrel ageing. Medium-full to full bodied, the palate is mouth-coating and viscous yet never cloying, with a mineral line keeping the richness in balance. The texture is expansive, the structure composed, and the finish remarkably persistent. Serve with roast halibut, lobster, poultry or creamy mushroom dishes.
Orofino 2025 Hendsbee Vineyard Clone 21B Riesling
Apple, citrus, peach skin, honeysuckle and pear shape a fruit-forward, approachable nose. The palate is medium-dry, with a semi-sweet balance. Made entirely from clone 21B Riesling, the wine comes from nineteen-year-old vines and reaches 11.9 percent alcohol. Orchard fruit, citrus and floral aromas bring together apple, pear, peach skin and honeysuckle in the aromatic profile.
Meyer Family Vineyards 2025 Okanagan Valley Pinot Noir
Earthy and juicy, with cherry and raspberry at the centre and a gentle touch of spice around the edges. The palate is fresh, dry and immediately approachable, with neutral French oak adding texture rather than overt flavour. Four Okanagan sites contribute nuance and balance, giving the wine a composed regional character and a clean, savoury finish.
Calliope 2024 Pinot Gris
A bright Canadian Pinot Gris with juicy pear, honeysuckle and honeydew melon on the nose.

Lively through the zesty finish, it works well with salads, mild curries, roast chicken or simple seafood dishes.
Nichol 2025 Pinot Gris Naramata
A pale salmon-pink hue introduces fuzzy peach, apricot skin and grapefruit. The palate is medium-bodied and juicy, with citrus pith, apricot stone and a light creaminess adding texture. Fine tannic tension from brief skin contact meets bright acidity and a saline finish. Serve with salmon, roast squash or lightly spiced dishes.
Painted Rock 2021 Syrah
Plum and dark fruit rise with classic black and white pepper. The palate is powerful and generous, layering blackberry, black cherry and ripe plum over a luscious texture. Eighteen months in French and American oak adds breadth and polish, while the peppery character keeps the fruit defined through a persistent finish.
Plot Wines 2021 Thick Viognier Chardonnay
Honey, meadow flowers and fleshy apricot open a generous nose. The palate is round, ripe and warm, with citrus oil lifting the richness and a gentle earthy note bringing contrast. Full and textured without losing freshness, it carries ripe orchard fruit and savoury warmth into a composed finish.
Blue Mountain 2025 Estate Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc
Lemon and gooseberry lead a restrained, flavourful profile with a textured leesy middle and a fresh herbal undertone. Firm acidity gives the palate definition without making it severe, while citrus and savoury notes remain clear through the finish. Serve well chilled with oysters, grilled fish, asparagus or fresh goat cheese.
Meyer Family 2024 Chardonnay Columbia River Plateau
Ripe orchard fruit and melon shape a soft, rounded palate with a gentle suggestion of sweetness. Stainless-steel fermentation preserves freshness, while neutral oak adds quiet texture without obvious wood flavour. Fuller and more relaxed than a taut cool-climate style, it finishes smooth and ready to enjoy with roast chicken, salmon or creamy vegetable dishes.
Ricco Bambino 2018 Muscat
An aromatic Okanagan Muscat with orange blossom, peach and citrus. Rounded in texture but kept lively by fresh acidity, it closes with a gentle floral-spice note.
Ursa Major 2023 Chapter V Gamay Vin Gris
Whole-cluster pressed without maceration, this pale Gamay was fermented naturally in neutral barrels and puncheons, then rested on its lees for five months. Volcanic rock, sandy loam and clay at the West Kelowna site frame a precise, lightly textured vin gris. Hand-bottled unfined and unfiltered, it finishes with quiet savoury detail and gentle breadth.
Le Vieux Pin 2021 Syrah Cuvee Classique 375mL Okanagan Valley
Blackberry and red bramble fruit are edged by black and white pepper, rosemary, black olive and a savoury iron note. Structured but not heavy, the palate stays cool and focused, with firm tannins and a dark herbal finish. Give it a brief decant and serve with lamb, beef or grilled mushrooms.
Blue Mountain 2019 Reserve Cuvée Pinot Noir
Plush yet composed, with lively black raspberry and black plum leading into darker cherry and a subtle mocha note. The palate is rich and full flavoured, carried by silky tannins into a dry, earthy finish touched by forest floor, smoke and savoury umami. Its generous fruit remains precise, with enough structure to reward a little more time in bottle.
Synchromesh 2025 Storm Haven Vineyard Gibson-Block 3 Blue Label Riesling
Mango, candied ginger and fleshy ripe peach lead a concentrated, highly aromatic Riesling. The palate is rich and viscous but never heavy, driven by intense, complex acidity and a fine mineral thread from decomposed granite and sandy gravel soils. Dried apricot carries into an exceptionally long, seamless off-dry finish. Serve with spicy dishes, blue cheese or fruit-led desserts.
Terravista 2022 Figaro
Beeswax, orange blossom, lemon and nectarine open with a restrained touch of oak spice. The palate is fresh yet richly textured, with the blend’s naturally oily character kept lively and well defined. Roussanne and Marsanne bring breadth while Viognier adds aromatic lift, carrying the wine through a persistent, savoury finish.
Sage Hills 2022 First Pick Merlot
Bright red cherry and plum lead a fresher, more lifted expression, with lively acidity and gentle tannins keeping the palate precise. The fruit remains clear and lightly savoury rather than heavy, carrying into a clean, supple finish. Its energetic shape makes it well suited to roast poultry, mushrooms or lentil dishes.
Nichol 2021 Old Vines Syrah Naramata Bench
Wild blackberry and dark cherry meet crushed violet, cracked pepper and a stony savoury underlay. Taut acidity and long, finely grippy tannins give the palate real energy without obscuring the fruit. The finish is persistent, peppery and mineral. Decant briefly and serve with grilled lamb, duck, lentils with herbs or roasted mushrooms.
Sage Hills 2022 Carbonic Pinot Gris
Cherry, raspberry and salmonberry give this skin-contact Pinot Gris a vivid red-fruited profile, balanced by delicate tannins and bright acidity. Ten days in a sealed, carbon-dioxide-rich environment shape its juicy, lightly structured character, while extended lees ageing adds texture without dulling the freshness. Energetic and quietly savoury, it works well with a slight chill and flavourful vegetable or seafood dishes.
La Stella 2022 Fortissimo Okanagan Valley
Bing cherry, red cherry and black cherry mingle with grilled herbs, cured tobacco and a subtle frame of warm oak. The palate is layered and savoury, with generous fruit, measured extraction and supple structure already working in harmony. Fresh acidity keeps the finish poised and inviting. Serve with osso buco, rosemary-crusted lamb or a mushroom cannelloni.
Howling Bluff Estate Winery 2025 Sauvignon Blanc Sémillon Okanagan Valley
Ripe citrus, honeysuckle and pineapple rise first, followed by green apple and honeydew. The palate is bright and clean, with enough fruit weight to soften its brisk acidity without losing definition. A lightly floral, refreshing finish makes this a polished match for shellfish, fresh cheeses, summer salads or simply a well-chilled glass before dinner.
City Side Winery 2022 Mystic Pearl Viognier
Seductive and highly aromatic, with ripe peach and apricot framed by lifted floral notes. The softly textured palate is medium bodied, balancing orchard-fruit richness with enough acidity to keep every detail precise. Generous without becoming heavy, it finishes poised and perfumed. Serve well chilled with roast poultry, richer seafood, mildly spiced curries or grilled vegetables.
Joie 2023 En Famille Reserve Pinot Meunier
Delicate yet deeply layered, with candied strawberry and fresh plum at the centre. Purple flowers add perfume, while cinnamon and clove bring warm spice before a lift of blood orange. The aromatic range moves easily from ripe fruit to floral and citrus notes, giving this uncommon red a distinctive, finely drawn profile.
