Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaCedarCreek winemaker Taylor Whelan is carving out his path, and the Block 3 Platinum Riesling is a good example of his innovation. Grown at the Home Block Vineyard above the East Kelowna winery, it is all own-rooted on 20-plus-year-old vines that are now certified organic. Two thousand nineteen throws rich, intense, lime-scented, nectarine fruit flecked with a steely, stony back end to deliver a complex white wine that will live for years. Whelan ferments the hand-selected bunches using organic yeasts, which feed the wine as it ages in 75/35 stainless steel /French oak barriques. Drink or hold; there is no rush. Bottled under a screwcap, it will keep forever.Tasted: 24 September 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 50.00 wine club member exclusive

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPicked over three passes from Block 3 of CedarCreek's Home Block Vineyard, situated above the East Kelowna winery, this block is planted to 20-year-old, own-rooted, riesling vines, with the clonal information lost to the passage of time. Year over year, this is one of BC's top rieslings, and this vintage is no different. It's impeccably balanced, with notable concentration and dry extract, and marked by precisely defined lime, orchard blossoms, and wet stones. It is what East Kelowna riesling is all about, as expressed through CedarCreek's characterful, distinctive house style.Tasted: 27 September 2021Tasted by: Prices: BC 50.00 wine club member exclusive
