Certified organic by Pro-Cert, this enticing pinot noir was crafted from hand harvested grapes in British Columbia’s lauded Okanagan Valley appellation. The bouquet revealed shy wild cherry, wood smoke, tilled garden soil, tobacco leaf and cracked pepper scents that mingled beautifully the medium bodied palate’s ample layers of flavours - red berries, wood smoke and spice led the performance - and its approachable, pulling tannins.

Featuring 100% chardonnay grapes, this sparkler from Blue Mountain showcased a richly textured mouth feel thanks to 6 1/2 years it matured on its lees. Serve this bubbly with any occasion. Enjoy.
