Selection
Blue Grouse 2022 Quill Red

Subtle earth and a whisper of spice add savoury definition, carrying the berries through a smooth, lively and quietly persistent finish.
Blue Mountain 2014 Reserve Pinot Noir Magnum
Fresh, complex fruit leads a structured, lively palate, with gentle extraction preserving delicacy rather than weight.

Serve with roast duck, salmon, mushroom dishes or earthy lentils.
Lake Breeze 2023 Riesling
Tart green apple, fresh apricot and lime pulp lead a crisp, finely drawn profile. The palate is dry, clean and lean, with bright natural acidity carrying citrus and orchard fruit through the centre. The finish is refreshing and precise, leaving a quiet mineral impression and enough structure to reward a little bottle age.
Anthony Buchanan 2023 Ashlyn Pinot Noir
Bright red fruit and delicate florals lead, followed by a lightly earthy, savoury note. The palate is supple and precise, with whole berries and ambient fermentation preserving freshness and fine aromatic detail. Gentle French oak and concrete ageing add shape without heaviness, while measured acidity carries the fruit through a clean, softly textured and composed finish.
Kettle Valley 2018 Pinot Noir
Raspberry, cherry and dark plum lead, with spice, savoury sage and an earthy undertone adding depth.

Neutral French oak keeps the texture composed, while fresh acidity draws the flavours into a focused finish.
Tinhorn Creek 2017 Pinot Gris
Bright apple, white peach and fresh citrus give this crisp, clean white an immediately inviting profile.

Flavourful without becoming heavy, it finishes with clear fruit and brisk lift, well suited to seafood, roast poultry or fresh cheeses.
Alderlea Vineyards 2023 Bacchus
Heady floral and citrus aromas open into juicy kiwi and ripe apricot. The palate is clean and crisp, with mature-vine fruit giving the wine more presence than its refreshing profile first suggests.

Rigour & Whimsy 2021 Licorice Daddy Cabernet Franc
Fresh red fruit and green herbs meet in a bright, savoury profile.

Five months in seasoned French oak rounds the texture, carrying the herbaceous fruit into a composed finish.
CheckMate 2019 Attack Chardonnay
Seaside air, flint and citrus blossom frame white peach and a subtle smoky note. The palate is creamy yet precise, layering juicy peach, Asian pear, nectarine and mandarin over measured acidity.

Fairview Cellars 2021 The Bear
Aromatically expressive and full-bodied, this dry red balances bold fruit with a generous, textured palate. Firm, drying tannins give it clear structure, while ripe dark fruit and savoury depth build through the mid-palate. Despite its scale, the wine remains composed and well balanced, finishing with confident weight and persistence.
Mission Hill 2020 Oculus Okanagan Valley
Cassis, dark cherry and blue fruit lead into spice, cocoa and a subtle leafy note.
