Open cedar-y spicy, sweaty nose with a touch of game leather and tobacco with chocolate cranberry fruit. Round and smooth on the palate with spicy, smoky, cigar, chocolate cherry flavours.

88 Golden Mile Riesling Luckhurst Family Vineyards 2005
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $18.00 winery direct, VQA wine shops
The first riesling we have tasted from Golden Mile shouts more. Love the fresh, citrus lemon fruit aromas with just a hint of honey and flecks of mineral. Winemaker Michael Bartier uses two German yeasts, ferments the grapes very cold and tosses in a pinch of muscat Ottonel to lift the fruit in what is a very well made wine with texture, weight and a lip-smacking fresh fruit finish. Bravo

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $14.99 specialty listing, vqa and private wine shops
It's been a while since we've seen this label but this is a very pleasant surprise from winemaker Dave Carson. The nose has an appealing red currant and spice scent with roasted licorice and vanilla pudding notes. Smooth and round on the palate, 9real merlot texture) with more spicy, smoky plummy fruit. Ripe fruit, fine balance and an attractive price. Real value here.

Fairly tight nose with a youthful spicy, peppery, smoky nose streaked with clove, black cherry jam and vanilla. Stylish round entry with some gripp-y youthful tannins. On the palate it's full-bodied with smoky, coffee mocha, black olive, licorice and savoury notes. Like most JT red editions another 2-4 years will really help settle this down. Solid red wine from the south Okanagan.

Typical JT big blackberry blueberry fruit nose with hints of brambles and black raspberry jam. Big round accessible front end with more peppery, black raspberry, smoky, vanilla flavours streaked with chocolate and ample oak. Big warm gamey finish.

BC $23.90 winery direct, VQA wine shops
This the best version of pinotage we have seen from winemaker Garron Elmes yet and better, dare I say, then most of the labels we see from South Africa in this market. Look for a soft meaty spicy red with bits of vanilla, clove, cherry, notes and streaks of earth and licorice. Impressive in the mouth, long and spicy with more fruit, mocha, spicy vanilla, smoky gamy white pepper flavours. Very well done this year.

Some change since first tasting 10 months ago. Peppery, spicy, black olive, green bean, cassis, smoky aromas. Dry, round, slightly lean entry but fairly soft if angular.

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $39.99 winery direct, Mark Anthony stores
The S.L.C. merlot opens with tight peppery, spicy, cool cherry aromas laced with mint, coffee, garrigue, vanilla and licorice notes. The palate is dry but rich with plenty of youthful grainy tannins. Blueberries, black cherry, smoky vanilla, savoury flavours. Showing a bit of chocolate now and fattening up as we expected. Fine intensity as the tannins settle down. Reminiscent of a semi-modern St. Emilion. Needs 2-3 years to fully develop.

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $18.99 winery direct
Attractive bright correct sauvignon nose with a mix of grass and lime rind and tropical fruit characters.

Myriad food possibilities add to its value.
91 Nk'Mip Cellars Qwam Qwmt Riesling Icewine 2005
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $59.99 winery direct and private wine shops
Warm baked apple, butter, nectarine, orange, mineral aromas. Fat, rich, ripe and sweet with good acidity but very unctuous. Citrus, dried apricot, mango, pear flavours. Intense, big style that is a bit too fat but has good fruit and acidity if a touch warm. Not quite as fine as the '04.
87 Nk'Mip Cellars Riesling 2005
Osoyoos, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $15.99 winery direct
Friendly open aromatic nose with red apple, nectarine, honey, floral mineral aromas. Very clean, crisp and fresh on the palate but not a lot of riesling character this year. A bit sweet but balanced and as usual fun to sip.

Cawston, Similkameen Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $29.88 winery direct
Minty, orange peel, peppery, compost, tobacco, cherry jam aromas. Dry, round, slightly tannic palate and warm but has some finesse.

87 Peller Estates Pinot Grigio Heritage Series 2005
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $11.99 specialty listing
Peller's Heritage grigio tastes more like a gris than a grigio but it's medium to full weight structure and leesy, buttery, pear melon notes should have wide commercial appeal. It's warm (alcoholic) on the finish but not without style. Just do not expect a skinny Italian-style grigio. You can sip this solo. Love the price.

87 Sandhill Cabernet Franc Sandhill Estate Vineyard 2004
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
AB $21.99 private wine shops; BC $18.99 specialty listing, vqa and private wine shops
This is quite an oaky edition with smoky sweet vanilla cherry nose. On the palate it is dry and smooth with fairly supple tannins and cherry and tobacco fruit flavour. The finish is long and flecked with tobacco, pepper, licorice flavours. Youthful and awkward at this point but should improve in the bottle over the next year or two.

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
AB $21.99 private wine shops; BC $18.99 specialty listing, vqa and private wine shops

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
AB $21.99 private wine shops; BC $18.99 specialty listing, vqa and private wine shops
Typical smoky, spicy rubbery notes with coffee, black cherry, celery salt, and a wisp of tobacco. Dry and firm on the palate with smoky oak, vanilla, resiny, tobacco and cherry flavours. Tight and youthful not showing much charm at this point but should settles down over the next year. Reasonable value but it's nearing the limit for what it is delivering.

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $19.99 winery direct and private wine shops march '06
Open floral lime rind mineral nectarine skin nose. Not as bitter as the previous version with softer textures and just a tinge of colour. The flavours are a mix of baled pears and canned peaches with a grapefruit rind in the finish.

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada

Pale gold/pink colour. Fine mousse with creamy, baked apple, floral, citrus, melon and toasted aromas. Dry, round, elegant entry with baked pear, floral, creamy, green apple, nutty, cherry flavours.

BC $0.00 TBR spring '07
Mineral, floral, green apple skin, light Vaseline, peach pit aromas. Very dry, round, crisp and fresh with mineral, lime rind, granny smith, green peach and mint flavours. Very high acid, crisp finish that is a touch too austere at this point but shows very good aging potential. Will not be released until the spring of 2007. Better get on the list. No estimated price yet so check back we will post when someone let's us know.
87 The Fort Wine Co. Green Apple Wine N/V
Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $12.95 winery direct
The newest label from The Fort Wine Co.'s may turn out to be one of its best. This wine blends premium British Columbia grown apples and its aromas and the flavour are, well, very apple like. Both ripe and tart this is a delicious wine and one that will interest even the most ardent drinkers of wine made with grapes. Well done.
90 Thornhaven Gewurztraminer 2005
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $13.90 winery direct
Could this wine be better than last year? Now one of the best in province on a consistent basis if you like gewürztraminer Thornhaven is the place to get. Look for a bright fresh floral lychee fruit nose and palate with ripe peachy fruit cut by a floral citrus undercurrent. Fine intensity and a clean finish. Terrific wine.
87 Thornhaven Pinot Noir Barrel Reserve 2005
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $16.90 winery direct, VQA and private wine shops
A nice improvement over last year although it still has some way to go to develop a true pinot profile. Sweet oak and smoke lend an attractive upfront character to this red but the fruit component is low. More smoky oak and toast mark its smooth dusty oaky finish.
87 Tinhorn Creek Merlot 2003
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $17.95 specialty listing, vqa and private wine shops
There's nice jump in quality with the 03 merlot. The mix of smoky oak tobacco leaf, mocha and red fruit is just right. The textures are even more textbook merlot and there's enough acidity and tannin to carry the day. Better than simple this is well made everyday spicy merlot at a very affordable price.
88 Wild Goose Stony Slope Riesling 2005
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada
BC $15.95 Speculative - Peacock and Martin
Very floral, perfumed, peach, ripe apple nose. Crisp acidity but somewhat sweet entry with floral, red apple, peach and citrus flavours with a very floral finish. Good style if a bit sweet and on the heavier style. This is somewhat more akin to Alsace than the winery's normal Germanic style. Continued solid quality.
