Beautiful expressive nose of black cherries, blackberries, graphite, steak blood, rosemary herbs, dark chocolate. Incredibly pure with a structure that is silky and yet precise. The tannin is velvety and long. No tertiary elements yet but this should acquire some comlexity and dimension with time. Great stuff. — 6 months ago
A great keepsake bottle for memories of a wonderful moment - @Jillian Varner’s brother got engaged and we celebrated with this. The juice inside is memorable as well. Melon, citrus, raspberries and strawberry. Puckering but not sour, slight toastiness too. Gorgeous, fun, yummy. — a year ago

The zoom tasting needs to be more focused, descriptive, and honest for a better score, but very fun to compare the wines yourselve. — 7 months ago
Very smooth. Brioche notes and some subtle sweetness. — a year ago
Takeout sushi from Minami in Yaletown, so grabbed this at a little wine shop next door. Okanagan white blend that leans towards Riesling. Medium dry, decent acid, lychee-citrus/apple. Gets the job done although sweeter than I prefer. $15 bottle sold for $35. Average wine is expensive in Vancouver. — 6 months ago
Very drinkable average rose. Had a bit more strawberry flavor, but crisp and smooth. Not highly discernible from others though — a year ago
Great, lively, concentrated gamay. Ruby colour/deep purple. Open black cherry nose. A fresh and tender mouth, with a great aromatic concentration developing aromas of rose petals, iris, undergrowth and peppery notes. A beautiful Beaujolais wine vinified in Burgundy style. Good guard potential.
Superbe gamay concentré et vif. Robe rubis/pourpre profonde. Nez ouvert cerise noirs, griotte. Bouche fraîche et tendue, avec une grande concentration aromatique développant des arômes de pétales de rose, iris, notes sous-bois et poivrée. Un vrai beau vin du Beaujolais vinifié dans le style bourguignon. Beau potentiel de garde. — a year ago
