Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaTime is beginning to close in on this gris made with fruit from three estate vineyards. Its pale copper colour results from a day of skin contact before a stainless steel fermentation. The flavours are dry and tart with intense notes of sour cherry, plums, and a funky, leesy, mineral, salty, underbelly. There is plenty of promise here and full marks for being very Vancouver Island. It needs a screwcap to become a viable player in the modern marketplace.Tasted: 23 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom three estate vineyards, vines ranging from 6-20 years, this spent a day in contact with the skins, providing that alluring salmon hue, before a ferment and an ageing stint in stainless. Tart cherry, gooseberry, mirabelle plum is brightened with stony, salty notes and grounded with a layer of lees. Finishing briskly, this is a lovely look at island gris and the best pg yet from Rocky Creek. Now, if it was only, it was under Stelvin in the future.Tasted: 07 October 2019Tasted by: Prices:
