Tangy, quaffable, juicy.
Formerly known as Pansy Rose, this ruby rose smells like tangerine and watermelon, wild red berries, honey and fine spice. It is off-dry and juicy, tangy and approachable. A very quaffable pink that will suit your holiday turkey or ham dinner.

Classic, snappy, verdant.
Classic Marlborough: elderflowers and tart green apples, musky honey, peach stone and asparagus aromas lead to a verdant but snappy palate with lime, green apples, pomelo and grassy/herbal flavours. A consistent Savvy.

Savoury, earthy, toasted.
Grown on the Southern Okanagan vineyards of the Osoyoos Indian Band, this savoury Pinot Noir suggests aromas of red currents and rhubarb, beet greens and wild strawberry, along with dried herbs, forest floor, cocoa and fine spice. The palate mimics the nose; earthy and smooth it leads with flavours of sour cherry and red currents, saddle leather, spice and herbs in fresh soil. The finish is toasty.

Bold, spicy, click/b>
Canada's foremost First Nations owned winery, Nk'Mip (Inkameep) Cellars is located in Osoyoos, in the semi-arid South Okanagan Valley.
This is a bold Chardonnay; pineapple and caramel, acacia, toasted hazelnuts, brown spice and buttered rum aromas lead to a fleshy palate. Sweet golden fruit flavours are woven with toasted oak, marmalade, theater popcorn and spiced rum on the finish. It has a slick creamy texture and boozy-sorta character.

Expressive, succulent, structured,
There is something quite authoritative about winemaker Randy Picton's Nk'Mip wines and this Merlot follows suit. Bordering on brooding, it doles out wild forest berry and dusty plums then pulls you deeper into blue rare steak on the grill, toasted spices and bacon fat. The palate is more expressive; generous fruit, fine spices, dark chocolate and coffee liqueur on the finish. It is supple, boasts ripe tannins and has excellent persistence.
Pair: grilled meats, roasted eggplant or vegetables, hearty pastas, Camembert cheese or savoury lentil dishes.
