Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

An elegant Pinot Noir with fresh cherry, ripe red berries, strawberries and fresh mushroom aromas on the nose. Dry, medium-bodied, savoury, smooth and harmonious with ripe cherry, raspberry, dried fruit and a lingering anise and nutmeg spice finish. Great acidity for food. Tannins are velvety and very approachable now. Tasted October 2020.

Produced from 100% Pinot Noir (clones 115, 667 and 777) from the winery’s estate vineyards on the Naramata Bench, British Columbia. Matured in barrel for 14 months with no racking until pre-bottle blending (bottled February 2020). The 2018 Silver Pinot Noir is matured in second and third-fill barrels.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
