Second review:
Looking for a turkey wine this holiday season? Here it is... A potpourri of cedar chips and dried floral and berry notes, tangerine peel and fine spice with a whiff of dried herbs. A lovely silky texture greets the palate with flavours of rhubarb, sour cherry, kumquats and fine spices. It's a tangy and dry rose with a zingy finish.

The Gamay, which makes up the sole component in this rose, comes from a vineyard in McIntyre Bluff north of Oliver. The aromas here are strawberry and rhubarb, cedary notes with forest floor and some fine spice. It is dry and mouth-watering on the palate - expect tart fruit and pink grapefruit flavours with similar cedar and fine spices lingering on the finish.
Perfect for your holiday meals with turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce.

A very alluring IGT red that is dominated by Syrah and fleshed out with Cabernet Franc, Merlot And Petit Verdot.
The nose is rich and fragrant; roses, cherries, mocha, cedar chips, briary berries and vanilla are layered with smoke, licorice, bacon fat and sweet spices. The palate follows suit; plush earthy and powerful with cocoa, leather, fine spice, dark fruit and cigar.
Impressive weight, texture and length.
Part of a one time buy at BC Liquor Stores, so grab it now and pair it with roasted meats or aged, hard cheeses.

Fragrant, supple, persistent.
This Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre blend ccomes from the newish AOC, Rasteau, which is found just above Chateauneuf-du-Pape in the Southern Rhone Valley.
It is a wonderfully succulent wine, offering roasted cherries, blueberries, sarsaparilla, mocha and toffee with a bouquet of lilacs and freesia blossoms. Supple and substantive on the palate; plump purple fruits, mocha, spice, wild botanicals and bacon fat flavours lead to a lengthy espresso finish.
Pair: Roasted red meats, game birds, aged goat cheese and hearty pastas.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary

Juicy, pristine, levity.
A pale salmon pink with aromas of strawberry pie, orange zest, peach stone and dried violets. It is Juicy with loads of fresh fruit, honey and tangerine flavours. It has applaud-able levity and a pristine character with a fine bead.

Energetic, generous, fragrant.
Pirramimma has been owned by the Johnston family since it was first established in 1892 and was named from the Aboriginal term meaning the moon and the stars. Expect energetic aromas of purple berries, vanilla, sweet chocolate baking spices, violets and licorice. The palate is supple and concentrated' rich chocolate generous fruit, mocha and spice flavours prevail. It's a delicious wine with a harmonious personality and a long smooth, sweet finish.
