Reviews and Ratings

Our inaugural 2010 vintage is rich and elegant with well-balanced fruit and oak characteristics with notes of pineapple, tropical fruit, hints of honey, lemon zest and buttered toast, this opulent Chardonnay has a lingering dry finish. The wine was grown in the sandy loam soil of our Sundial Vineyard on the Black Sage Bench in Oliver, located in the southern part of the Okanagan Valley, where we enjoy long hot dates and cool nights. This wine is 100% Chardonnay, carefully selected at the peak of ripeness and matured in five small French oak casks.

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.
