Naramata Bench Pinot Noir 2019

Start your vacation in Vancouver with a glass of this wonderful Pinot Noir or open a bottle wherever you are and imagine you’re smelling the breeze off the sea , the scent of the pine, and the sunset that doesn’t finish in the summer. — 3 years ago

Okanagan Valley Pinot Blanc 2014

Wasn’t expecting much from a six year old bottle of Canadian Pinot Blanc that was lost in the cellar. Very fresh. Bright orchard fruits. Balanced by good acidity. Nice food wine — 5 years ago

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.

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. — 3 years ago

@Michael B Michael we were hoping to go to the Okanagan this summer but we’ll have to hold off until the fall. If you had to suggest 3 must visit wineries what would you pick? Thanks P
