Spicy, intense, earthy,
Made from some of the oldest Cabernet Franc vines in BC, this intense Cab Franc is rolls out spicy and meaty aromas, which are layered with leather, licorice, and mocha. It has a textural chewiness, is mouth-filling and has obvious oak contact; but at the core it is fresh, earthy and shows concentrated wild berry flavours.
Suggested pairings: Game meats, lamb, roast duck or hearty stews and pastas.

Modern, woven, fruity.
Made from some of the oldest Cabernet Franc vines in BC, this Golden Mile Bench Cab Franc suggests grapey notes woven with purple berries, vanilla, violets and baking spices. The palate is an echo of the nose; fragrant floral flavours are layered with vanillin oak, baking spice and purple berries. It is woven and balanced with a certain modern elegance.
Suggested pairings: Game meats, lamb, roast duck or hearty stews and pastas.

Ruby, tangy, juicy.
Ruby red, this off-dry rose wine smacks of cranberry, Maraschino cherry, raspberry and a whiff of tomato leaf and Red Delicious apples. The palate follows suit with tart fruit, think cranberry and rhubarb, crab apple and bitter orange, along with fine peppery spices.
Nice concentration here, an approachable sipper.
Pair: Curried dishes, chilled spicy Asian noodles, seafood or white meats.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Blue Cheese & Cracked Pepper

Ruby, approachable, fruity.
This ruby-red rose is a step up from the 2017 vintage. It offers aromas of strawberry jellies, cranberries, tangerine, cream-sicle and spiced vanilla. It is crisp and crunchy, off-dry and very fruity with enough tannic structure on the finish to allow it to stand up to sticky ribs, burgers with caramelized onion jam and curried dishes, chilled spicy Asian noodles, seafood or white meats.
