Immediately gratifying, another solid Syrah from the Golden Mile Bench in the Okanagan Valley. Classic Syrah characteristics, with bold fruit and spice. Pairs perfectly with a pepper steak. — 10 years ago

Opened a wedding present that's now got a bit of age on it. Bouquet and taste that's still passionate. Must be a good sign. — 11 years ago
Very golden in color. Low acidity. Very aromatic wine with stone fruit notes. Tastes of kiwi and peaches. A great porch wine on a hot summer day. — 11 years ago
A very nice pale golden colored wine. Nice aromatics of honeysuckle, lime, wet stone, and talc. Body, alcohol, and acidity are all medium. Palate is fresh with refreshing acidity and fruit driving the experience. Stone fruit, esp white peach, join the aromas noted earlier. Finish is surprisingly long. Nice wine. — 12 years ago
This is a huge wow. Outclasses the Fleurie Moriers from the other day by a mile. Tastes like someone managed to squeeze juice out of solid granite and blend it with equal parts gamay. Off-the-charts rockiness here puts it almost in STGT territory. Has plenty of structure as MaV should, but it's more refined in texture than the Fleurie and perfectly balanced with the fruit (and no wood flavors detectable on this one). The proportions here are like the golden mean - this is really well-composed. — 9 years ago

Mission Hill Family Estate Five Vineyards Pinot Blanc 2012
Pale lemon colour with golden hue. Quite an aromatic first impression of buttery undertone with intense citrus melon honey and apple flavours. Dry on the palate with crisp acidity and integrated citrus honey apple and buttery feel. Interesting refreshing and flavourful character much like maple tree forrest in autumn with wind going through sea of fiery red leaves. — 11 years ago
High acid, golden apple and a bit of mineral — 11 years ago

Road 13 is the route to take if you want to find a great Old Vine Chenin Blanc. The nose opens with lemon zest and honeydew melon. Your mouth will explore the complexities that of older vines featuring green apples, cantaloupe, and golden gooseberries. — 10 years ago

Deep golden colour with great body, absolutely fantastic. Tropical nose and palate with long mineral finish. Has some desert wine characteristics. Fascinating and I wish I had another bottle because I love it. — 9 years ago
