Think pink, and expect a controlled riot of ripe, succulent fruit on the tongue. Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris infused with well-aimed splashes of Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Served well-chilled, this blushing beauty complements seafood, poultry, and spicy offerings. $16.00
A new, winning white. Pinot Gris lightly kissed with Gewurztraminer. Consummates a chicken, fish, or shellfish dish — but is lip-smackingly good all on its own. Don't be surprised when this off-dry original becomes your summer standby sipper. $19.00
No bluff: this one's even better than our 2008 (which sold out lickety-split). A big red blend of Merlot, Shiraz, and 'Cab' from Osoyoos small lots. Oak barreled for an impressive 16 months. Cellarable for 6-8 years. A stunning complement to the grill, it's the one to pour at your next "high steaks" game. Scoop this one up — while you still can. $19.00
The real deal. A complex and textured Bordeaux-style blend of hand selected grapes from small lots on the Osoyoos and Black Sage benches. Impressive now, or cellarable up to seven years.
John Schreiner: "A polished wine built around 66% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. On the palate, there is a delicious core of sweet fruit - black cherry with a hint of mocha. The tannins are long and ripe. The wine has the structure to cellar well even though it tastes so good right now."
Fruity and elegant. Intense garnet core with thin light red rim. Clean nose with moderate blackberry and black cherry aromas, and greenish vegetal and herbaceous notes (green and black pepper and menthol). Ripe dark fruit aroma - almost floral, but with tobacco and dusty leather undertones. Medium body with moderate intensity. Smooth tannin. Impressive balance of fruit acidity and structure culminating in a refined finish. 13.6% alcohol.
