Creamy, zesty, mouthwatering
The Chronos label (along with TIME, McWatters Collection, and Evolve are owned by 5 Vine Cellars) and are made at the TIME Winery in Penticton; the Chronos label is the newest.
This Pinot Gris is delightful with notes of Asian pears and pomelo, honeysuckle and crunchy apple with crisp starfruit undertones. Citrus is bountiful on the palate, it's pristine and racy with great concentration and a creamy edge thanks to two months with lees contact. The finish is long and mouthwatering.

Mouthwatering, crunchy, juicy.

This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is laden with gooseberry and green apples, crunchy peaches and lime, honey, spring flowers and grass clippings. It's a mouthwatering white with good bones and concentration. Flavours of guava and peach and a suggestion of jalapeno. Slick and lengthy and delicious.

This 100% Sauvignon Blanc is a lovely example of the variety. Classic gooseberry and passionfruit aromas mingle with juicy peach, honey, elderflower, lime and green apple. It has a palate of mango and peach and zesty citrus flavours. Nicely balanced and refreshing; totally enjoyable.

Pretty, textural, supple.
The Chronos label (along with TIME, McWatters Collection, and Evolve are owned by 5 Vine Cellars) and are made at the TIME Winery in Penticton.
This 100% Syrah was aged in French and American oak and delivers pretty notes of sweet cherries and raspberry, violets and licorice, chocolate espresso beans and a hint of white pepper. The palate is supple and full-bodied, fresh and fleshy with flavours of wild purple berries, chocolate and coffee. Nice power and freshness with some textural chew on the finish.

Classic, iconic, complex.
The McWatters Collection (along with TIME, Chronos, and Evolve are owned by 5 Vine Cellars) and are made at the TIME Winery in Penticton. A series of new sparkling wines have recently been released, this McWatters Brut is the most serious of the lineup, a traditional method sparkling made from 65% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Noir and 10% Pinot Blanc left 42 months en tirage. It was also the last wine the late Harry McWatters worked on; those who knew Harry, knew of his love for sparkling wine. When he opened British Columbia's first Estate Winery, Sumac Ridge, in 1980, it became the first winery in the province to make a traditional method sparkling wine, the now iconic Steller's Jay.
Honeysuckle and lemon biscuits, yellow apples, straw and bread dough aromas lead to a dry palate with a creamy mousse. Yellow fruit, a hint of marzipan, and saltines are expressed on the palate along with racy acidity. Lengthy and elegant.
