Heading to Walla Walla
Shop NowCurated by Geoffrey Moss MW & winemaker Ryan McKibbon.
It started with a simple idea. What if we could showcase wines from our favourite winemakers. Not just from the Okanagan, but from around the world.
Barrel by barrel, we select the lots that raise the hair on our arms. They have a verve. An electricity. And, most importantly, they have something to say.
This is Søren.
The Rocks Syrah
The Rocks District demands commitment from its growers. It's not easy to work through the endless fist-sized basalt cobbles. But, in return, it yields Syrah like nowhere else: dark and inky fruit layered with savoury pepperiness, and the stony minerality that defines this singular region.
Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon
Big skies stretch over the wheat fields of Walla Walla, but it's the long, hot summer days and cool nights that define its wines.
This region's Cabernet Sauvignon strikes a rare balance: luscious, intense fruit from those sun-soaked days, with freshness and fine structure from the evenings.
Bracken Vineyard Chardonnay
The cooling Van Duzer breeze on our faces. Volcanic soils dusting our boots. Standing next to our friend, Shelby Perkins, we saw a view of the Willamette Valley that stretched to the horizon. We needed to make wine from here, from Bracken Vineyard, amidst the rolling hills of Eola-Amity.
Bracken Vineyard Pinot Noir
Farmed organically and biodynamically, this is a co-fermentation of four Pinot Noir clones from Bracken Vineyard, resulting in a wine that transparently and expresses both the site and Eola-Amity, with tremendous depth and complexity..
Boundary Spring
35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc, 18% Merlot, 12% Malbec, and 5% Syrah
Rocky, unyielding soils. Fierce, relentless wind. Sun-drenched, towering mountains. This is British Columbia's rugged Similkameen Valley. Boundary Spring is a single vineyard red blend, led by Cabernet Sauvignon, that delivers the wild beauty of the valley to your glass.
The Ascension
Our Syrah vineyard in Osoyoos has reached its final chapter with this vintage, following a devastating cold snap in late December 2022.
The unparalleled cold, which hadn’t been seen in decades, plunged as low as -30°C, claiming nearly every vine in the parcel and bringing an end to this remarkable site.
Yet, in the face of adversity, this last vintage stands as a testament to the very spirit we aim for in an Okanagan Syrah—floral, spicy, brambly and full of life.
Results May Vary
Winegrowing can be a riddle. But there isn't always a clear answer. Sometimes things go as you expect. Sometimes you question everything you know.
The 2022 vintage was marked by unpredictability, with both unusually warm and unexpectedly cold conditions. What began as an uncertain year ultimately became one of the best in decades.
This wine shows the affinity of Roussanne and Marsanne in the Okanagan – with 1% Viognier for good measure.
Headlong Rout
Sometimes things just fall into place.
Our friend Mike Anderson had just started a new winemaking job, and he didn’t have the time to finish a small batch of Viognier that he was making for his wife.
We didn’t plan on launching with an Okanagan Viognier. But then we tasted it. Her loss. Our gain.
We had our first release: 500 litres of Viognier.
