BRITISH COLUMBIA LAUGHING STOCK VIOGNIER 2022 6 BC VQA Okanagan Valley

HINTERBROOK NOMAD HUMBLE 2023 6 VQA Niagara Lakeshore, Niagara-on-the-Lake

Niagara’s 2023 vintage had its challenges (don’t they all!), but a warm, dry fall swept in and liberated the grapes from the inconsistent conditions of the season; A fortuitous intervention that gave grapes time to ripen and to develop the concentration and balance that mark the year. This Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend is complex, structured and ripe, with sharply defined fruit.

100% Viognier. Gingery spices seasoning aromas of lemon rind, poached pear, honeysuckle and nectarine. Fruity and lush on the palate. Score: 90 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2024) Aromatic & Flavourful 46825 (XD) 750 ml $39.95 2 Online & Flagship Exclusive

KONZELMANN BARREL AGED RESERVE SERIES CABERNET/ MERLOT 2022 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula

MISSION HILL RESERVE CHARDONNAY 2022 6 BC VQA Okanagan Valley

Herbal and balmy blend of 46 percent cabernet sauvignon with merlot and cabernet franc, yet cool and even a touch salty. Curious locution and one to follow for its elasticity and temperature. Tannic profile is measured, grippy, in control, yet on the metre. Might very well be a wine that lives a very long time. Drink date: 2025¤2029. Tasted blind at NWACS 24, June 2024. Score: 90 (Michael Godel, winealign.com) Full-bodied & Smooth 576314 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2 Featured in Women in Wine

A little reserved at first, it hints at grilled stonefruit, lemon curd and toasted nuts. There is a real harmony of fruit and tension on the palate that is quite charming. A perfectly ripe mid palate, restrained oak presence and solid length confirm its quality and finesse. Highly drinkable yet not unrefined.
