Capella 2009
Daenna Van Mulligen Wine Diva - There is some impressive power in this Similkameen white with aromas of vanilla, honeycomb, white nectarine and guava, sweet herbs and citrus with fine floral notes. The palate is quite rich, the weight creamy and it has a potent, citrus and spiced finish. 90 Points winescores.ca reviewed - August 22nd, 2011
Saturn 2010
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes for this Select Late Harvest delicacy were intentionally picked overripe in the cold of November. Inspired by the great dessert wine tradition of the Sauternes region of the Bordeaux, this wine exhibits a lovely pale golden hue in the glass. Enticing aromas of ripe pineapple, apricot, honey and citrus rind are followed by a long, hypnotic finish adding toffee and a suggestion of fresh sage. This luscious, balanced creation will pair nicely with foie-gras, creamy blue cheese or a delicate dessert.
Signature 2009
The use of all 5 red Bordeaux varietals and maturation for 18 months in French oak before bottling without fining or filtering gives this wine great complexity. It greets the nose with vibrant strawberries and blackberry with hints of sandalwood and spice. As it opens dark cherries, plums and soft hints of caramel, espresso and chocolate come into play. When first tasted, the fresh fruit is echoed on a soft tannin base. After decanting, a balanced yet solid tannin structure frames the fruit and the aromas intensify. This wine shows promising longevity in the cellar. Available in 750ml, (1.5l, 3l & 6l Format - call for availability)
