My love affair with my favourite Canadian Rosé continues. Hints of apricot, strawberries and a dry minerality paired perfectly with a capellini pasta in a hot smoked salmon, cherry tomatoes and asparagus with crème fraiche sauce. Golden BC, cabin country. — 8 days ago

A nice minerality, lemon and its zest, a hint of green apple, a perfect amount of oak and touch of butteriness but definitely restrained as one would expect in an old world Chardonnay. Lovely. — 7 months ago

Big and juicy with rich, brambly black fruit pushing up from the bottom, but the meaty, smoky tones are little intense. Paired with beef short rib and roasted veg. — 6 months ago

Deep violet hue, elegant legs. Nose has a rich floral bouquet of violets with spicy bramble berry perfume and a subtle hint of cherry nibs. Palate is outstanding for a 2016 (although probably has peaked) with flavours of dried fruit, prune, cedar and playful, well balanced tannins. — 23 days ago

Light caramel colour, nose offers fresh hints of almond nougat and a touch of oak. Palate is tart green apple with a hint of brioche. A great wine and paired well with a leek and shrimp linguine with lemon butter sauce. — 6 months ago
