2022 Capriccio (Riesling)
High Note
Penticton, BC
$28.00
Pale yellow with a green tinge and medium-light intensity. Apricot pit, citrus, pineapple, honey, grapefruit pith, and minerality on the nose. Good balance. The flavours echo the nose followed by a medium-plus finish. This is a slightly softer Riesling for those who find some too acidic.

2022 Sauvignon Blanc
Black Market
Kalleden, BC
$26.00
Bright lemon yellow with medium-minus intensity. Aromas of melon, passionfruit, lime juice, honey, and just a touch of grass, gooseberry, and smoke. Very good balance. Delightfully juicy and refreshing on the palate with flavours that follow the nose. A medium-plus finish. This is a lovely food wine and at only 11.5% ABV, it pairs nicely with prawns and scallops.

Garnet red with medium intensity. The nose displays aromas of toast, delicate black cherry, strawberry, black pepper, black tea, cranberry, a touch of musk, spice, humus, coconut, and vanilla.
