Tangy, juicy, frothy.
This blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Zinfandel bottled under screw-cap is a frothy and off-dry fizz that is pale salmon in colour; kumquats and wild red berries, herbal and earthy with candied strawberries on the nose. The palate mimics the nose; rhubarb, strawberries and quince flavours lead to a tangy finish.

Tangy, straightforward, frothy.
A field blend of grapes with appealingly low alcohol (12%) is fizzy and sweet with aromas of cherries, and cedar, spice and vanilla. Approachable, spritzy and juicy, it has confectionery cherry and strawberry flavours, attractive levity and some phenolic texture on the finish.

Fragrant, harmonious, delicious.
A blend classic to Southern France, and grown on the estate Dirty Dozen Vineyard, this Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre is another outstanding wine from Pentage.
An enticing mix of sweet black cherries, blackberries and dried cherry aromas vanilla, chocolate, licorice root and dried roses atop smoked meat notes. It has a supple entry and flavours of dark chocolate, brown spice, black pepper and espresso flavours. Harmonious and fresh with a silky texture, this wine is a winner.

Aged, savoury, austere.
This premium red from Pentage Winery above Skaha Lake near Penticton is a proprietary blend which includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. It is dark and austere pencil shavings and wild black berries, cocoa, spice and leather, tobacco and wild sage. The palate is showing age; lean and savoury with the fruit dropped off and more secondary flavours have now kicked in.
A worthy buy if you love aged wines, this one has been done for you.

Aged, powerful, brooding.
This premium red from Pentage Winery above Skaha Lake near Penticton is a proprietary blend which includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot; all components were aged in oak barrels for 18 months prior to blending.
Always released with age, this typically powerful red doles out black fruits and peppery spices, bacon fat and espresso, dark chocolate and leather with dried cherries at the core. The palate is equally deep and dark with mocha flavours. It has a brooding sort of complexity, smoothed out tannins and a long bittersweet cocoa and dried herbal finish.
