7 Blanc 2009
We love creating this blend that represents the uniqueness of the Naramata Bench terroir. The wine’s grapes are grown on our own property in the rolling hills east of Penticton. Off dry and exotic with tangerine citrus notes, pear and lychee in the nose. The taste is of pears, peach, mandarin orange, hints of walnut and some tropical spice. The finish lingers with yellow raisin and fig. Enjoy with sushi, Indian or Thai dishes, and mild, creamy cheeses.
750ml Bottle: $18.99
Black Dog 2006
Two of the more traditional ways to tame a big red blend is time and new oak. We used both. This version of Black Dog was aged 40 months in new French and American oak. We feel the result is justified: blackberry, currant, cassis, cedar box and leather on the palate and an aroma rich with cocoa and fig. Share with the most deserving friends and cook them something wonderful.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Aging in French and American oak barrels for over 22 months has created a rich and harmonious palate of dark berry and exotic spice notes that mesh with the bold structure common to this varietal. Sourced from our most southerly sites, this blend includes a touch of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. You might experience aromas of plum and cherries with subtle mint and leather. Flavours of cherry preserves on the palate, with hints of cardamom, caramel and vanilla. Unfiltered. Enjoy with prime cuts of beef and big game, full flavoured cheese and other robust fare.
750ml Bottle: $25.99
Merlot 2007
The 07 vintage continues a tradition of bold and definitive wines that truly demonstrate the depth of the Okanagan terroir. The 2007 Merlot has unique and vibrant flavours that leap to the palate. Blueberry, cherry and cranberry dominate the fruit spectrum. The nose has a spice note of singed toffee that distinguishes this vintage from others. The mouthfeel is clean and precise; tannins are balanced yet assertive. This wine promises many years of faithful cellar development.
750ml Bottle: $24.99
Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
A classic French pairing of grapes that complement each other beautifully. While Merlot dominates the blend, the Cabernets provide their own unique contributions. Aromas of blueberry, pomegranate and a sprinkling of cocoa dust start things off with flavours of chocolate-wrapped cherries and black olive in the palate. Cherry licorice rope in the finish! Ready to drink on release but look for some interesting developments if you choose to cellar it over the next five years. It’s ideal with grilled meats and select aged cheeses.

Reserve 7 Meritage 2007
A big wine that benefits from decanting, the Reserve 7 Meritage has aromas of berry, vanilla and spice. Unfiltered to enable the natural flavours to shine through, the palate is rich, with dark cherry, cassis, licorice and chocolate notes. Great structure and acid balance make this an excellent candidate for cellaring. Enjoy with robust foods such as grilled beef or roasted lamb and full-flavoured cheeses such as a sharp blue, aged cheddar or Manchego.
750ml Bottle: $34.99
Reserve Chardonnay 2007
This rich Chardonnay combines crisp clean fruit flavours with a mellow roundness contributed by long aging on the lees and frequent batonage. This vintage exhibits fresh pastry and tree fruits on the nose, the palate is a reward of vanilla pound cake and nuts.

Rose 2008
The fresh fruity flavours of a white with the slight tannic effect of a red. What a wonderful combination. The first sniff offers a combination of gooseberry and floral notes. Take a sip and you will find an overall impression of fresh summer berries joined with the slightest hint of rhubarb and peach cobbler. A slightly off-dry wine ready for chilling on the patio or try with grilled salmon, roasted ham, fresh green strawberry and goat cheese salads or spicy Asian dishes.
Sauvingon Blanc 2009
Few wines capture a region’s characteristics like Sauvingon Blanc. This is a true Okanagan style. The nose erupts with kiwi, strawberry and honeydew. The palate is fruit salad, a hint of sweet Chilliwack corn and caramel with a guest appearance of beurre noisette. Full and lush, drink chilled and in the accompaniment of all things summer.
750ml Bottle: $18.99
Sémillon 2008
Sémillon naturally creates notes of lemon, lime or green apple but this cool climate wine has much more complexity. The nose offers scents of melon, rose and diesel while the palate entertains stone fruit and spice with a finish of lingering honeydew. We added 5% Sauvignon Blanc that contributes some crisp citrus notes throughout.
750ml Bottle: $14.99
Seven Stars Sparkling 2008
Crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown on our Langley estate vineyards, our 7 Stars sparkling is produced in the traditional méthode champenoise style of French champagne. En Tirage for 2.5 years in the bottle, the sparkling wine has lively bubbles with vibrant citrus and floral aromas. Crisp apple and stonefruit flavours can be found on the palate with a hint of baked goods and fig. Pairs well with creamy cheeses such as Saint Andre or a triple cream brie or camembert, oysters or lobster, rich milk chocolate, or enjoy on its own as an aperitif.

Syrah 2007
The 2007 vintage is our first Syrah co-fermented with a small percent of Viognier, which softens the structure and enhances the aromatic aromas. A medium-bodied red that is juicy and lush, bursting with black cherry, clove and a hint of white pepper on the nose and raspberries, dusty cocoa and wild herbs on the palate. We expect excellent aging capabilities until 2014. Suggested food pairings include wild game, roasted lamb, creamy pastas, and sheep’s milk cheeses.
750ml Bottle: $24.99
Unoaked Chardonnay 2009
Primarily sourced from vineyards in the Oliver area, this Chardonnay went through tank fermentation, using three select yeasts and cool fermentation to enhance and develop complex fruit expressions. This fresh, unoaked style exhibits the true character of the grape with hints of melon, pie spice and citrus on the nose. The palate reveals Granny Smith apple, mineral notes and strawberry. A medium finish, with crabapple and cream. Explore dishes with figs, fruit- touched cheeses, Dungeness crab and roast chicken.
