2013 vintage. Obsessed!!! Soo good. One of the best Pinot noirs I've had. Quite light in body but very velvety and smooth. Flavor and depth changes well over time to be yeasty/blue cheesy/savory.

Tasty cherry and spice notes in this light bodied tart little offering from BC. Beautiful acidity gives the finish extra length as it hangs and hangs on the palate.

A nose that predicts strength... Pronounced cherry and savory sausage roll nose... On the palate, subdued raspberry, cherry jam, and more of those savory notes... I paired with chicken liver pate and a beautiful duck breast... This wine's earthy-savory themes really shone through here. Brilliant.

I’m always impressed with this Pinot. 2018 drinking very well. Incredible value in my opinion.

Very nice pinot for not being a famous pinot region.

Amazing colour, nose and taste. Pure Okanagan Pinot Noir with big red fruit and oak all the way. Expression of the terroir was just outstanding.

This was the 2013 vintage (for some reason this program won't let me edit the year). 2013 is the best vintage yet.
