Selection
Elephant Island 2013 Apricot Wine
Fragrant ripe stone fruit opens with honey, tropical fruit and delicate floral notes. The palate is smooth and velvety, layering yellow plum and peach with a bright lift of citrus zest. Vibrant acidity keeps the natural sweetness fresh, while honeyed fruit and a subtle hint of spice linger through a long, polished finish.
Elephant Island 2022 Blackcurrant Wine
Vibrant cassis and dark berry fruit lead this medium-sweet, medium-bodied dessert wine. The palate is concentrated yet balanced, with lively acidity lifting the lush fruit and keeping the sweetness in check. A gently tangy line brings freshness to the close, leaving a generous, fruit-forward finish that remains bright and composed.
Elephant Island 2019 Cherry Wine
Ripe cherry opens with almond, gentle spice and a light floral note. The palate is smooth and concentrated, layering sweet cherry fruit with enough tartness to keep the texture lively. Subtle vanilla and earthy tones add depth, while a long, velvety finish carries cherry compote and soft spice without becoming heavy.
Northern Lights Heritage Haskap
Deep wild berry fruit leads a concentrated, full-bodied palate. The dark-fruit intensity is framed by measured Hungarian-oak depth, giving the wine a firm, composed shape rather than overt sweetness. Rich texture and dark-fruit persistence carry through a long, age-worthy finish with a quiet savoury edge.
Northern Lights Cranberry Wine
Whole-berry fermentation keeps the red-fruit character vivid and direct, bringing bright berry flavour with a naturally tart, gently bitter edge. A measured touch of sweetness rounds the palate without obscuring its freshness. Firm acidity gathers the flavours into a clean, lingering finish that remains lively and dry in feel.
Maan Farms Raspberry
Pure red-berry fruit leads a bright, straightforward profile, pairing generous sweetness with a soft natural tartness. The palate is smooth and juicy rather than heavy, keeping the fresh-fruit character clear from the first sip. A gently tangy finish restores balance and leaves a clean echo of ripe summer berries.
Maan Farms 2013 Blackberry Wine
Concentrated black fruit leads a rich, fruit-driven profile, with a soft jammy note and deep berry intensity. The palate is full and gently coating, balancing natural sweetness with enough tartness to keep the fruit lively. A smooth, warming finish carries juicy dark-berry flavour without becoming cloying, making this an expressive after-dinner pour.
Gekkeikan NV Japanese Plum Wine 750 mL
Subtly sweet and full-bodied, with ripe plum nectar at the centre and a gentle touch of apple and pear tartness bringing balance. Notes of peach, nectarine, toasted almond and warm spice add depth without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is long, smooth and clean. Serve chilled, over ice, with spicy dishes or alongside a simple fruit dessert.
Northern Lights Seduction Strawberry Rhubarb Wine
Ripe summer berries form a bright, inviting nose. The palate is off-dry and medium-bodied, with a tart red-fruit lift balancing the gentle sweetness and lending a creamy, rounded texture. Fresh acidity keeps the fruit lively, carrying a smooth, refreshing rose-style finish with a clean savoury edge.
Clos du Soleil 2018 Estate Reserve Red Similkameen Valley
Crushed stone and graphite meet fresh mint, dry spice and a woodland savouriness. The palate is nuanced and firmly structured, with dark fruit held in a precise frame of acidity and fine tannins. Mineral and herbal notes return on the persistent finish. Decant generously and pair with roast lamb, braised beef, grilled mushrooms or aged cheese.
Blue Grouse 2023 Pinot Noir Cowichan Valley
Red cherry and raspberry meet forest floor, cool florals and a restrained touch of spice. Amphora brings textural depth, while seasoned oak adds structure without dominating the fruit. Medium-bodied and composed, the palate has fine tannins and maritime freshness. The finish remains savoury and precise. Serve with duck, salmon or mushrooms.
Painted Rock 2021 Cabernet Franc
Herbs and spice frame dark cherry on the nose. The palate is brambly and concentrated, with the variety's savoury character carried by firm, gently gripping tannins. Extended hangtime gives the fruit full flavour, while 18 months in French oak adds polish and depth. Structured now, it has clear potential to develop further.
Meyer Family 2022 Micro Cuvée Chardonnay
Lemon, mandarin, vanilla and honey open a rich but finely defined nose. The palate brings ripe peach, yellow apple and orange together with vibrant acidity, while lees ageing and French oak add breadth without obscuring the fruit. The texture remains harmonious and composed through a persistent, elegant finish.
Burrowing Owl 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Okanagan Valley
Cassis, damson plum, blueberry and dark cherry form a generous aromatic core, edged by cedar, sweet spice and dark chocolate. Full-bodied and structured, the palate carries blackberry and plum through fine, firm tannins. A restrained savoury note adds lift before the long, polished finish. Decant and serve with grilled beef or lamb.
Le Vieux Pin 2022 Syrah Cuvée Classique Okanagan Valley
Black and white peppercorn frame red bramble fruit, black olive, aromatic herbs and a savoury note of rusted iron. Structured but not heavy, the palate is defined by restraint and a cool, peppery drive rather than overt richness. The finish remains dark, herbal and composed. Decant briefly and serve with lamb, beef or grilled mushrooms.
Le Vieux Pin 2023 Petit Blanc 375mL Okanagan Valley
Green citrus, gooseberry and fresh currant open into a light touch of tropical fruit. Orchard-fruit weight gives the mid-palate shape, while the dry, aromatic profile remains lithe and refreshing rather than slight. Clean and versatile through the finish, it is an easy match for shellfish, salads, goat cheese or lightly spiced dishes.
Averill Creek 2021 Pinot Noir
Tart red fruit leads with delicate berry fragrance and an earthy tobacco note. The palate is light to medium in body, balancing freshness with a quietly structured feel. Fine acidity keeps the fruit vivid, while savoury earth and gentle spice add dimension through a clean, composed finish that remains bright rather than weighty.
Great Northern 2018 Zinfandel
Black currant and cranberry lead an expressive nose, with dried plum at the core and quieter notes of mushroom, pepper spice and coffee. The palate is lively and tangy, carrying black cherry through firm but energetic tannins. Pepper and dark fruit linger into a racy finish, with the generous weight staying well integrated.
La Frenz 2021 Cabernets
Raspberry, cassis and ripe black cherry open an expressive, dark-fruited profile, with mulberry and a cool thread of spearmint.
