Four wines. Four vineyard stories. Four distinct p Four wines. Four vineyard stories. Four distinct personalities. 🍷🪶 When the 2024 BC harvest was devastated by winter freeze, @quailsgate looked south, but refused to compromise on quality. Winemaker Jeff Del Nin travelled thousands of kilometres across Washington State, tasting wines from every vineyard before committing to a single block of fruit. The result is a quartet of premium Plume reds crafted at Quails' Gate from exceptional Washington vineyards, including the famed Weinbau Vineyard, home to vines planted in the 1970s and '80s. 🍷 2024 Cabernet Franc ($45) Elegant and savoury with vibrant raspberry, tart cherry and black currant framed by spearmint, tomato leaf and fine-textured tannins. Fresh, lifted and wonderfully food-friendly. 🍷 2024 Merlot ($37) A rich, age-worthy Merlot layered with black cherry, violet, cedar and graphite. Silky on the palate with dark fruit, anise and herbs leading to a long, polished finish. 🍷 2024 Syrah ($40) Bold and expressive, offering blueberry, plum and cracked white pepper alongside smoked meat, cocoa and fresh cedar. Powerful yet beautifully balanced with lively acidity. 🍷 2024 Cabernet Sauvignon ($45) Classic Washington Cabernet bursting with blueberry, blackberry and cassis, accented by vanilla and clove. Full-bodied with refined tannins and a long, polished finish built for the cellar. These wines have just been released to Quails' Gate Wine Club members, with a public release to follow at the end of the month. Sometimes great wines aren't defined by borders, they're defined by exceptional vineyards and the dedication to seek them out. Quails' Gate's 2024 Plume collection is proof. Which bottle would you reach for first? 👇 #BCWine #BCWineTrends #QuailsGate #Plume #CabernetSauvignon #CabernetFranc #Merlot #Syrah #WashingtonWine #OkanaganWine #KelownaWine #VancouverWine #VancouverFoodie #YVRFoodie #VanFoodie #WineLovers #CanadianWine #RedWine #WineCollector #ExploreBCWine
🍐🌸 2025 Red Rooster P3 One of @redroosterwine si 🍐🌸 2025 Red Rooster P3 One of @redroosterwine signature white wines, P3 is a vibrant blend of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir that beautifully captures the freshness and elegance of the Okanagan. Delicate aromas of white blossoms, ripe pear and lemon zest lead into a luscious palate of ripe peach, nectarine and honeydew melon. Bright acidity and a subtle mineral note keep everything fresh and beautifully balanced from start to finish. 🍷 91 Points Perfect with mixed green salads, soft cheeses, roasted chicken, charcuterie or light summer pasta dishes. Have you tried Red Rooster's unique Pinot blend? #BCWine #BCWineTrends #RedRoosterWinery #OkanaganWine #DrinkBC #ExploreBCWine #PinotBlanc #PinotGris #PinotNoir #WhiteWine #WineLover #WineTasting #WineReview #SipLocal #OkanaganLife #VisitOliver #SouthOkanagan #CanadianWine
The Thompson Valley has come a long way in the pas The Thompson Valley has come a long way in the past decade, and Monte Creek Winery continues to prove just how exciting this emerging wine region has become. I recently tasted six of @montecreekwinery newest releases, including two organic sparkling wines, an organic Rosé, Riesling, Cabernet Franc and the fun, blueberry-infused Split Decision. Together, they highlight the winery's commitment to sustainable farming, cool-climate winemaking and wines that overdeliver for their price. If you're looking for some delicious BC wines to enjoy this summer, these are well worth a look. 🍷 Read my full review: https://bcwinetrends.com/2026/07/22/monte-creek-winery-continues-to-raise-the-bar-for-thompson-valley-wines-with-six-new-releases/
🍇🫐 Split Decision Blueberry Grape Sparkling (4-pac 🍇🫐 Split Decision Blueberry Grape Sparkling (4-pack $21.99) Who says sparkling wine has to be serious? 🎉 @montecreekwinery Split Decision is one of BC's most unique summer sippers, blending locally grown blueberries with BC wine grapes to create a lightly sparkling wine that's bursting with personality. Expect fragrant aromas of blueberry, lavender and a touch of cotton candy, followed by juicy blueberry flavours, delicate bubbles and bright, refreshing acidity. It's fresh, fruity and unapologetically fun, made for patios, picnics and celebrating the little things. 🥂 🍓 Perfect with: Strawberry & goat cheese salad, brunch favourites, waffles with fresh berries, pulled pork; or simply served ice cold on a warm summer afternoon. Have you tried a blueberry sparkling wine before? #BCWine #DrinkBCWine #BCWineCountry #MonteCreekWinery #SplitDecision #SparklingWine #BlueberryWine #ThompsonValley #OkanaganWine #ExploreBC #HelloBC #Vancouver #VancouverBC #VancouverFoodie #VancouverFood #VancouverEats #VancouverLife #YVR #604 #WineLover #SummerSipping #PatioSeason
