Jan 31st, 2016Extraordinary! Great concentration of red currant, red plum, and a touch of raspberry. This one's alive and fresh. The last couple of times I've visited, I've just grabbed a bottle of this one for the grassy garden outside the tasting room.

Aug 5th, 2019Pale, translucent red in the glass. Oregano, raspberries and earthy notes. Highly acidic with sour cherries, with an earthy banana undertone. A salty finish that definitely needs to be paired with food.

Light. Fruit filled. Neutral sweetness. Reminds me of a babysitter I had growing up. Easy going.

Juicy yet tart cherries, with a little hint of strawberry. Mild Earthy finish, low tannins. Real smooth and clean overall.$36 on clearance for $27

Sampling the local stuff & we like it. Opens up to a whole lot of cherry.

This was a recommendation and I'm glad I got it. Gamay is a grape the mat is suited to the Valley weather and this one lives up to region. Very smooth wand well balanced. Nice taste of cherries and will be good with seafood or beef. Only hope I can get more of this fine BC wine.

Jun 20th, 2016Memories of the Bill Murray Room... On the tart side, but this one's got some subtlety beyond the red fruit base. Horse stalls? I paired this with baked salmon which may not have been the best choice. Maybe a spicy dish would have been better? I really think this one does best on its own though - or with charcuterie. I like it.
