Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery NV Admiral Shorts Okanagan Tawny
A blend of grape varieties barrel-aged for up to 15 years and fortified to 17.5%, this take on a tawny port seems to referee a style battle between an oloroso sherry, a marsala and, you guessed it, a tawny port. Incredibly balanced, without too much heat, I’m most impressed that it’s not cloyingly sweet. Think plum skin, toffee, orange rind and anise. Then think blue cheese, vanilla ice cream or rich, dark chocolate to go with it.

Summerhill Estate Winery 2011 Alive Organic White Wine
Tropical fruit, lemon, lychee, apple, pear and fresh peach aromas are found on the nose of this organic wine. The flavours are crisp and fresh, with lots of fruit, a little residual sweetness and a slightly herbal finish. Very clean and refreshing.

Quails Gate 2011 Dry Riesling
I'm always a fan of good riesling and this is an enjoyable one. Lean and flinty, with peach fruit, lemon and petrol aromas. The palate is pretty, with lifted acidity and a clean finish.

Summerhill Estate Winery 2009 Syrah
You have to love the new syrahs coming out of the Okanagan, this one has aromas of meat, violet, spice box, mocha, gingerbread and abundant red and black fruit that also show on the palate. Hints of tar and smoke also come through with some stiff tannins and a bitter chocolate finish. Drink now or over the next two to three years.

Gray Monk 2011 Latitude 50 White
Gray Monk keep their cards held close as to the varietal composition of their Latitude 50 line and perhaps this is a wine where it really is more about the sum than its parts. What we do know is that it’s very aromatic and tastes like the Okanagan, with apple, pear, peach and sage notes — all bright, clean and with fairly dry finish. If I were a betting man, I’d venture a handful of Alsatian varietals here, maybe some muscat, pinot gris and the like – but let’s not think about it too hard, it’s not one of those kinds of wines. Just pour another glass and enjoy!

Summerhill Estate Winery 2010 Alive Organic Red Wine
This organic red wine is smokey and savoury on the nose, with olive, tar and black cherry aromas. Quite rustic on the palate, it is a little dried up and too smokey. The blend is dominated by marechal foch. The white in the set is much cleaner and more refreshing compared to the red.

Mission Hill Family Estate 2011 Reserve Chardonnay
The nose of this wine is rife with butter and vanilla aromas. There is also mint leaf, apple and floral tones, with just a hint of hazelnut. In the mouth, this is rich and plush, with full flavours, lots of oak and a big buttery finish.

Summerhill Estate Winery 2011 Gewürztraminer
This wine has intense aromas, with lychee, ginger ale, nectarine, pear, peach and spice leading the way. There's also a subtle, pretty rose petal character. This has good fruit on the palate, with a touch of sweetness and a pleasing bitter note on the finish. Good stuff. Drink now.

Quails Gate 2010 Merlot
This wine is part of a great trend of serious merlots being produced in Canada. The nose is dense and complex, with plum, prune, black cherry, tar, menthol, tobacco and a delicate floral note. There are good tannins, with tight acidity and plenty of flavour. This serious merlot is suitable to cellar until around 2015. Enjoy with a nice porterhouse or beef stew.

Summerhill Estate Winery 2009 Cabernets
This wine is a blend of primarily cabernet sauvignon, with about 30% cabernet franc. The nose exhibits plenty of chocolate and cocoa powder notes, with cherry, cassis, herb, licorice and olive. In the mouth, it has a pleasant spiciness and consistent fruit notes. I love the plump plumminess and the just-right tannins that finish on a slightly herbal note. Pair it with grilled meat or big beefy dishes.
