2022 Pinot Gris

2022 Pinot Gris

This beautifully balanced white has a bright acidity with tantalizing flavours of peach and lemon. Rated 90 points by wine expert Tony Aspler, this wine pairs well with chickpea penne with vegan alfredo sauce or jicama salad with grilled shrimp and lobster.

2021 Reserve Viognier

2019 Reserve Viognier

Fermented in French oak, this sumptuous viognier has pretty aromatics of honeysuckle and white peach. It has a silky mouthfeel with notes of melon, grapefruit rind, and hints of baking spice on the palate. This 91-point gem is a great partner with goat cheese crostini with rosemary and almonds or turkey BLT panini.

2020 Cabernet Merlot

2020 Cabernet Merlot

An exquisite blend of merlot, cabernet franc, and cabernet sauvignon. This alluring red has a lovely bouquet of cedar, blackcurrant, and blackberry that leads into rich black fruit and hints of black tea on the palate. Enjoy this alongside chicken with dijon sauce or balsamic pork chops with deep fried olives.

2020 Reserve Syrah

2020 Reserve Syrah

This platinum-winning vintage of B.C. syrah features resplendent notes of dark cherry, blackberry, black olive, and pepper spice. Rated 92 points by Tony Aspler, this opulent wine pairs well with seared ratatouille skewers or grilled corn-on-the-cob with pepper and parmesan.
