Fairview Cellars

The Bear Premier Series Okanagan Valley Red Blend 2016

Phenomenal. Every other year I open one of these bottles from 2016 and the evolution keeps impressing me. On the nose, has a character of rainy ancient west coast forest. On the palate, Blackberry, blueberry, with hints of dark cherry. Blended perfectly with a rich, aged, leather. Hints of cedar wood, slightly smoked. Perfectly balanced. Only going to keep getting better over the next few years. — 4 years ago

Tantalus Vineyards

Okanagan Valley VQA Riesling 2018

KD
9.2

Pale yellow colour. On the nose, notes of petroleum, green apple, lime, pineapple and some honeysuckle. Rather dry with a light-medium body with a crisp acidity. It has almost an effervescence in the mouth with green apple, pear, unripe pineapple, lime and lots of minerality, almost briny. Notes of honey on the medium finish. Great! — 4 years ago

Painted Rock

Estate Grown Okanagan Valley Merlot 2014

Absolutely stunning Merlot! Big juicy dark fruits dominated by dark cherries, blueberries and hints of raspberries. Followed by long lasting slightly acidic medium tannin that is well balanced. — 6 years ago

A Noble Blend Okanagan Valley White Blend 2025

2025 vintage.
54 % Riesling, 37 % Gewurztraminer and 9 % Pinot Gris, Ehrenfelser and Oraniansteiner.
After the devastating winter freeze and loss of 2024 crop in Okanagan and Similkameen valleys, this vintage is a return to all British Columbia fruit. Aromatic and off-dry styled after Alsatian Edelzwicker.
Fresh and bright flavours of white peach, crisp, ripe Golden apples, ginger, lychee and lime.

Le Vieux Pin

Équinoxe Syrah 2016

A wonderful bottle of 100% Syrah out of the South Okanagan Valley in BC. This is a flagship wine and vintage for Le Vieux Pin. A bold wine, yet supple tannins and an extremely smooth mouth feel. Exceptionally balanced. Aromas of violets; red and black berry fruit, with baking spice, and black pepper on the palette. A stunner! — 9 months ago

Quails' Gate

Okanagan Valley Chardonnay 2019

Opens with nose of fresh churned butter & lemon. Upon first taste, surprised by its sting of citrus leaning towards grapefruit & cleanse of sustained limestone minerality. At this point, I checked the label again to insure its said Chardonnay as Sav Blanc & Viognier was there. It opens up becoming more floral, orange zest but maintains minerality cleanse. Medium body, little oak delicious-“Chablis”! Paired with pan seared chicken breast creamed sundried tomato sauce & gnocchi💥 — 3 years ago

Quails' Gate

Okanagan Valley Old Vines Foch 2016

Happy birthday, Dido! 83 is worth a great bottle and this delivers.
Mature full ruby color. Nose of forest floor, crushed red fruits. Palate feel and in mouth aromas feel more old world, savory, dusty, and with structure below the flesh.
