Gorgeous Gamay produced from vines that are between 35 and 100 years old. Nose is fruity with floral aromas and hints of pepper. The wine is typical light mouth feel found in the Beaujolais style but very expressive with lots of ripe fruit, silky mouth feel and a long lingering mineral and white pepper finish. Outstanding. — 5 days ago

White peach, subtle apricot, gooseberry, peach dominate the creamy palate, livened with a dusting of ginger spicing that lingers on the saline finish. Paired with a peach and prosciutto thin crust pizza at the winery. Superb. — 25 days ago

Nose: stewed plum nose, juicy and ripe with cocoa and cherry cola notes
Silky on the tongue. Very smooth tannins.
Raisin, cocoa nib with a jammy cassis blackberry centre but with well balanced vegetal notes and a whisper of earthiness. Outstanding for an 8 year old Canadian wine. — a month ago

We pulled this one out to celebrate our trip to Willamette valley 8 years ago. It’s been aging gracefully. Still has a good concentration of colour at the centre and lightening toward the edges with a spectacular gold hue. Nose is carmelized pineapples, milk bread baking spices, candied quince and a whiff of summer ripeness due to its age (it’s definitely past its prime but still elegant as hell). The palate has flavours of green pear, kumquat and crème caramel with the warmth of ripe summer fruit and pops of lively brightness. — 13 days ago

Lovely mid-straw colour with sexy legs. Nice clean minerality on the nose against a warm but subtle hint of structured oak carrying some green pear and apple blossom. The palate is soft and warm with flavours of lemon curd and spicy oak with a tart yellow apple finish. — 19 days ago

Bright yellow color with green reflections is the introduction to a fragrant sip with notable acidity. Intense citrus on the nose and in every sip with an intense final flavour. The palate is delicious, fresh and full-bodied. Paired with olives, mild hard cheeses and prosciutto. — 25 days ago

Continues to please, 4th year in a row where we’ve enjoyed this wine at the vineyard with a Margherita pizza. 🍕 🍷 Delicious with notes of strawberry, watermelon and citrus. Recommend both the wine and a summer time visit to Ex Nihilo and Chaos Bistro in Lake Country, Okanagan. — 13 days ago

We’ve had this one in the cellar for about 6 years. Paired it with an Icelandic cod in a chervil white wine sauce with fingerling potatoes and a fennel salad. Nose offers a brisk minerality with a light lime zest, going deeper we get a soft orange blossom leading into quince and caramelized pineapple. On the palate we get herbaceous flavours with a mouth coating unctuousness, lean acidity and rounded citrus and under ripe nectarine. Spectacular and definitely peaking. Love our Okanagan wines. — 20 days ago
