Varietally true peppery and meaty gamey notes on top followed by a generous palate of blackberry, cassis and vanilla underpinned by approachable tannins with well-balanced fruit and oak through the lengthy end.
A premium vodka worth the coin, Absolut Elyx is distilled in a copper column from single-estate Swedish winter wheat and naturally filtered water. A remarkably creamy and sophisticated spirit with notes of vanilla, spice and, of course, wheat grain. Great in a martini.
Medium ruby. Ripe cherry, raspberry, soft spices and earthy notes of mushroom. Ripe fruity taste, bone dry mouthfeel. The finely grained tannins, the tingling acidity and the warm finish combine in a generous style that somewhat sacrifices balance and harmony. Drink up.
The little sister to Ladies Who Shoot Their Lunch Shiraz. Deep ruby-purple colour; savoury nose of black fruits, herbs and pepper; dry, full-bodied, spicy liquorice, blackberry and toasty oak flavours. Good value.
The aromas of citrus, apple sauce and hint of dough collaborate to create a wake-up call for a brunch-time bubbly. The juicy, lemony, green apple, lime notes whet the appetite. Clean, zesty finish satisfies. Made from a variety of grape varieties, vintages and sites.
The combination of aromatic purity, power and balance are truly impressive. Huge lime, bergamot, white peach and crystalline minerality soar across the senses. The palate achieves the status of a lovely Kabinett with a long aftertaste. Still an infant; it will be interesting revisit this wine as it evolves over the next decade, at least.
Sourced from East Kelowna and Naramata, from a challenging yet ultimately rewarding vintage. Floral and red berries up front with a touch of earthiness lead to inviting cherry and raspberry flavours above a pleasing savoury edge, supported by supple tannins and spice notes through the lengthy finish.
