Let's put to rest all those questions about whether BC wines can age. This '06 was still big and beautiful.

Another great example of BC Cab Franc. Grown on the Black Sage Bench (literally right beside ours!). Ripe blackberry, cassis, cocoa, vanilla bean, spice. Still has several years left on it.

This is some of the best when it comes to Okanagan merlot... Black current and raspberry on the nose... On the palate, this has a beautiful herbal bouquet of for me, mint, eucalyptus, sage, oregano, and then back to that lovely black current... Not a heavyweight as I'd still use the word "fun" here. This wine is just great for most any occasion. A standard for BC.

Ordered from room service at the Westin we stayed at in Whistler, BC. Really liked this one.

This wasn’t my favorite Okanagan merlot; there was a strange minty-ness on the finish that made me think of a spiced wine.
