Reserve Chardonnay 2007
WINEMAKER TASTING NOTES
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.

2004 Reserve Chardonnay
Jurgen Gothe | Georgia Straight, March 16, 2006
This one would certainly like a little lie-down in the cellar, just getting better and better all the while. But the question is, How to accomplish that? All of 87 cases left the bottling line, and where are they now? Possibly on select restaurant wine lists… A massive, mouth-filling wine, with excellent balance-big fruit, toasted oak, all kinds of intriguing spices and herbs; soft but in no way flabby, mellow but in no way mushy; the alcohol level in perfect check (and this is true of all three of these wines, which is a minor miracle: many B.C. Chardonnays get it out of whack)-this is one of the most elegant of our homegrown Chardonnays. It would pummel competition from anywhere in the wine world; no wonder it won all those awards.

2004 Reserve Chardonnay
Anthony Gismondi | Vancouver Sun, May 14, 2006
Green apple, floral, popcorn nose with honey, grapefruit, cinnamon and lees aromas all in the crisp, round, elegant style. Somewhat buttery with popcorn, baked apple, citrus, mineral, floral, green apple skin flavours with a nutty, garlic lees, chalky, vanilla finish. Very solid if a bit oaky now. Should improve over the next year as the oak dissipates.
