Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

While Bartier Bros Pristine White 2024 is the winemaker’s favourite, Pristine Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2024 is hands-down my favourite. So pretty in the glass with a pale peachy coral colour; almost the colour of old pink gold. Fresh and fragrant with ripe red berries, Rainer cherry, blueberry and minerally aromas, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon rosé is dry, medium-bodied and refined with bright red berry, cherry, blueberry flavours with a long pithy pink grapefruit finish refined, refreshing and balanced on the palate. This is indeed a beautiful rosé. Tasted July 2025.

Bartier Bros Pristine Series of wines are the winery’s answer to their vineyard freeze up in January 2024 and the “miniscule harvest” for that year. A ‘crafted in B.C. wine’ Pristine Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé 2024 is produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from 40-year-old vines from the Soaring Eagle Vineyard, Wahluke Slope AVA, Washington State, Columbia Valley. The wine was filtered cold with no fining.

I do need to make two mentions here, Bartier Bros Pristine wines are all under $20. And, as the winery suggests, this wine tastes “structured and expensive tasting, without the expense.” And this is true. The second mention is in order to distinguish “crafted in B.C. wines” from B.C. VQA wines, different labels needed to be made. Townhall Brands of Vancouver, B.C. helped the winery in designing the label to identify these wines, and they have done a wonderful job in tastefully defining them: “Pristine is a brand name for these wines, and they are all identified with a compass face icon in place of where our original cactus bloom icon would be found on the label.”
