Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe deep freeze never made it to Vancouver Island in 2024, where Blue Grouse winemaker Stacy Hornemann has released her best pinot noir yet. It was fermented in a mix of stainless steel and amphora, then aged in neutral French and Hungarian oak. At just over 12% alcohol, it is a benchmark of the island pinot style, a slender expression with a perfect balance of red cherry and minerals dusted with sea salt. Balanced and lingering, it is as light as a feather through the finish. Drink or hold through 2029. Refined and a taste of what is to come from Blue Grouse.Tasted: 21 September 2026Tasted by: Prices:

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom estate older and younger blocks, this pinot noir was vinified in stainless and aged in new and older wood (French and Hungarian), plus 15% amphora. Highly perfumed, with fragrant plum, boysenberry, tayberry, and plum, this pinot is framed with fine boned, tea-toned tannins, finishing with a graceful dusting of sweet spice. An elegant, coastal pinot reflecting the smart new direction of Blue Grouse.Tasted: 03 November 2026Tasted by: Prices:
