🍷🏅 Hester Creek UNDICI — a BC Super Tuscan making 🍷🏅 Hester Creek UNDICI — a BC Super Tuscan making its mark. UNDICI has quickly established itself as one of the standout new red blends from the South Okanagan — now backed by some impressive recognition: 🥇 Gold Medal — Los Angeles International Wine Competition ⭐ 96 Points — John Schreiner ⭐ 94 Points — @james.suckling ⭐ 94 Points — BCWineTrends Crafted from Hester Creek’s warm Vineyard Eleven on the Osoyoos East Bench, UNDICI is a Super Tuscan-inspired blend led by 61% Sangiovese, with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The nose opens with cherry, cola and cacao, followed by layers of Bing cherry and darker red fruit on the palate. Tobacco, sagebrush, vanilla bean and a savoury earthy character add complexity, while refined tannins and bright acidity keep everything beautifully focused. Italian inspiration, unmistakably South Okanagan. 🇮🇹🍷🇨🇦 🍇 61% Sangiovese 🪵 24 months in French oak 🍷 13.7% alc. 📍 Osoyoos East Bench @hestercreekwinery @josephinenhutte #HesterCreek #UNDICI #BCWine #BCWineTrends #Sangiovese #SuperTuscan #OkanaganWine #Osoyoos #SouthOkanagan #BCVQA #CanadianWine #WineAwards #WineReview

🍷 Blue Grouse Pinot Noir 2023 — 93 Points Revisit 🍷 Blue Grouse Pinot Noir 2023 — 93 Points Revisiting this excellent Cowichan Valley Pinot Noir after recently tasting several other BC Pinots only reinforced my original impression. A beautiful transparent ruby in the glass, opening with vibrant aromas of red cherry, rose petals and baking spice. The palate layers sour cherry, raspberry and pomegranate with an intriguing touch of earthy forest floor. Bright acidity keeps the wine fresh and energetic, while fine, beautifully integrated tannins add structure and carry the fruit through a long, captivating finish. Made from 100% Cowichan Valley Pinot Noir, fermented in amphorae and stainless steel, then aged for 18 months in new and neutral French oak barrels and puncheons. At just 11.5% alcohol, this is an elegant, distinctly cool-climate Pinot — and one of the most impressive examples I’ve tasted from Vancouver Island. ⭐ 93 Points 🍷 $39.99 📍 Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island @bluegrousewines @winesofbc @josephinenhutte #BCWine #BCWineTrends #BlueGrouse #PinotNoir #BCPinotNoir #CowichanValley #VancouverIslandWine #BCVQA #CanadianWine #CoolClimateWine
🍷 Stoneboat Pinot Noir + BBQ Ribs A very enjoyabl 🍷 Stoneboat Pinot Noir + BBQ Ribs A very enjoyable Okanagan Pinot Noir from Stoneboat Vineyards in Oliver — and an excellent match with BBQ ribs. Violet aromas mingle with bright red cherry and raspberry, followed by cranberry, subtle spice and intriguing forest-floor and earthy mushroom notes. Fresh acidity keeps everything lively, while the soft tannins and juicy red fruit balance the smoky, sweet richness of the ribs beautifully. Elegant, savoury and distinctly Pinot — and proof that Pinot Noir can be terrific with BBQ. 🍷 @Stoneboatvinyard Pinot Noir 📍 Oliver, Okanagan Valley, BC #BCWine #OkanaganWine #PinotNoir #StoneboatVineyards #OliverBC #BCWineTrends #BBQRibs #WinePairing @winesofbc
🍷 @mtboucheriewine Reserve Syrah 2022 A decidedly 🍷 @mtboucheriewine Reserve Syrah 2022 A decidedly cooler-climate expression of BC Syrah, this 2022 Reserve leans more toward Northern Rhône than Australian Shiraz in style. The wine opens with bright red cherry, raspberry and rhubarb, complemented by violet, white pepper and savoury spice. The palate is youthful and energetic, with lively acidity giving the red fruit a fresh, slightly tart edge. Fine tannins and subtle spice carry through a long, refreshing finish. At just 13.1% alcohol, with a pH of 3.23 and TA of 6.8 g/L, there's plenty of freshness and structure. The wine spent 15 months in French and Hungarian oak, only 20% new, allowing the fruit and peppery character to remain front and centre. Still tasting young and tightly wound, this should become even more interesting with a little additional bottle age. 92 Points 🍇 100% Syrah 🍷 13.1% alc. 🪵 15 months French & Hungarian oak 📍 Similkameen Valley / Golden Mile Bench / Okanagan Falls #BCWine #BCWineTrends #MtBoucherie #Syrah #BCSyrah #OkanaganWine #Similkameen #GoldenMileBench #BCVQA #CanadianWine #WineTasting
