Third bottle on Blue Mountain Reserve night, served with maple ginger glazed cedar plank salmon. From a magnum. Light bricking. Cherry, cedar, dark chocolate, fennel. Almost effervescent on the tongue and glides across the palate with confectionery but tart notes of licorice, raspberry and rhubarb pie. Fine grained tannins, medium-long finish. Outstanding. My wife gave it a 92. Two more magnums left, drink or hold.

Pale red. Sweet New World Pinot fruit, caramel, cardamon - quite fragrant. Sweetish fruit attack, with light red berry flavours. Simple, clean, youthful flavours and a little beyond velvety, heading towards heavy.

Clear lighter ruby in color. Notes of cherry, mushroom, baking spice and cola on nose and palate. Dry, med body, med acidity, light tannins. This wine makes me think twice about my feelings towards BC Pinot Noirs. Tried a bottle 2 years ago and it was okay. Now it is getting really interesting. Will leave next bottle for 3 years. Think this will just get better.

Good Pinot, but surprisingly not as exciting as the regular cuvée from the same vintage. Bright acidity with cherry aromas. Drink or hold for 3-5 years.

Clear very light red in colour. Clean nose of Strawberry. Dry, med body, med acidity, barely any tannins, strawberry and some mushroom on the palate. Nice finish. Had some funk upon opening, but opened up and blew off after an hour. This wine will get better with time.

Consistent with previous notes. Drinking beautifully, still vibrant with succulent fruit. Big crowd favourite.

Light colour. Ripe cherry cola. Glyceric texture.
