Pinot Gris 2015Fresh, crisp and incredibly vibrant notes hit the nose. Just-ripe granny smith apple on the palate combined with stone fruits, pink grapefruit and lime zest. The finish lingers on the palate and contains just enough acidity to clean the palate for the next sip. Production: 200 casesPrice: $17Vineyard: Three Mile Vineyard (Naramata) / Stoneboat Estate Vineyard (Oliver/Black Sage Bench)Variety: Pinot Gris (100%) ABV: 14.2%TA: 5.9 g/LRS: 5.2 g/LPH: 3.68Merlot 2014The VUW 2014 Merlot is deceptively easy-going. It disguises depth of character under a charming exterior. Hand-crafted from self-rooted vines in a single, south-facing vineyard on the stony slopes of the upper Similkameen bench the wine layers dark cherry fruit over a core of sweet spice. This is a go-to wine with lots going on.

The inaugural vintage of VUW Rosé, from fruit grown in the iconic, limestone-rich Sperling vineyard, slides in gracefully beside the most elegant rosés of Provence though an extra burst of pure fruit and bright acidity makes it distinctly BC.

Bright notes of violets burst from the glass giving way to aromas of black cherry, clove, and cedar. The palate is fresh, pure, and structured with a concentrated, juicy finish. A wine of both power and restraint. Production: 50 casesPrice: $19Vineyard: Serendipity Winery (Naramata)Variety: Pinot Noir (100%) ABV: 13.3%TA: 6.0 g/LRS: 1.5 g/LPH: 3.79Chardonnay 2012 In Collaboration w/ ROAD 13Bright golden colour hints at the ripeness of the fruit. The nose is intense and layered.

Notes of yellow apples, Meyer lemons, and quince paste overlay a well-integrated base of vanilla and toffee. The wine comes alive on the palate. Fresh, vibrant acidity runs through a rounded, slightly creamy mouth-feel. The lingering finish presents flavours of cantaloupe giving way to mouth-watering notes of preserved lemon. A well-rounded Chardonnay that marries purity of fruit with complexity gained from partial oak aging. Production: 120 casesPrice: $24Vineyard: Castle Vineyard (Oliver/Golden Mile), Kuipers Vineyard (Kelowna), Blind Creek Vineyard (Cawston/Similkameen Valley)Variety: Chardonnay (100%) ABV: 14.4%TA: 5.4 g/LRS: 6.23 g/LPH: 3.56Blanc de Noir Brut NV In Collaboration w/ Backyard VineyardA pretty pale orange to golden hue in the glass with a fine and persistent bead. The nose presents variations on green apples – apple cider, baked apple pie – as well as deeper notes of orange marmalade and fresh baked bread. On the palate, the wine is lean and refreshing, showing hints of under-ripe strawberry and just barely there natural fruit sweetness.

The long finish leads with the crisp acidity of pink grapefruit, a nod to the wine’s unique Fraser Valley terroir.

The nose is intensely aromatic – bright citrus, fresh pineapple, crisp apple, and hints of wild thyme and spring blossoms. The palate is light and dry with a fresh lime finish.
