Wasn’t onboard with this champagne as I am with others. While it was still good, I felt that green apple was overwhelming to the other notes on the palette such as brioche and honey. Distinct wet hay note on the nose. — a month ago
Lack of wine depth doesn’t meet the $70 price tag. Extremely heavy bottle tries to give element of gravitas, but wine falls short. Green, astringent tannins, covered in oak. Crown and Thieves is more about the marketing than the wine craft it appears. — 9 days ago
Lightly oaked, lemon and buttery notes. Nice fine from the Okanagan. Paired well with cheese fondue. — a month ago
Blackcurrant, raisin, fig, and violets. Delightful wine. Felt that it could have sat another few years, but drinkable now. Elegant tannins and balanced acidity. — 2 months ago
Unbalanced, lacked length and complexity. Overwhelming tart red fruit. Overall missed the mark for me. — 21 days ago
Delicious BC Pinot from the Canyonview Vineyard. Strawberries, hay, mushrooms and earthy notes surround the palette. Love Lightning Rock wines…small vineyard who take extreme pride in their craft. — a month ago
An absolutely delightful Chardonnay. Full bodied, buttery Chardonnay, but not the “in your face” type. Lime, lemon, brioche, vanilla, and an earthy-barnyard undertone. For a BC Chardonnay, this hits above its weight. — 2 months ago

Premier B.C. sparkling wine producer rivalling some of the best in the region and abroad. Small, unpretentious family run vineyard with superb quality. Traditional method, sparkling Chardonnay. Delicate bubbles, toasty, brioche notes with lemon zest makes this an AWESOME tasting blanc de blanc. Loved it! — 2 days ago
