The Pinot Noir Collection
Six Pinots to enjoy through the colder months, from a 2018 library wine to our two 2024 Oregon releases. Free shipping in B.C. and Alberta.
Jancis Robinson once described our Pinot Noir as “spring and autumn in one glass.” What a poetic way of capturing Pinot’s sense of balance.
Now that the skies are dark by early evening, we’re leaning into the autumn side, with a collection of six Pinots to enjoy through the colder months.
They’re drinking beautifully now with Beef Bourguignon. Tuck a few bottles away, though, and spring brings one of our favourite pairings of all: Pinot and morel mushrooms.
Pinot Noir Collection
One bottle each of six Pinot Noirs: the ‘Tradition’ 2018, 2020 and 2022, the ‘Artist’ 2022 and, from Oregon, the ‘Tradition’ Dundee Hills 2024 and ‘Artist’ Willamette Valley 2024.
Free shipping in B.C. and Alberta, with other provinces receiving a $20 shipping credit.
Library Wine: Pinot Noir 'Tradition' 2018
“Medium deep cherry red with a hint of brick on the edge showing its development. Complex nose of raspberry and herbs, with really elegant tannins. Medium finish.”
Pinot Noir 'Tradition' 2020
The warm 2020 vintage shows juicy blueberries, cocoa nibs, the scent of sun-kissed irises. Very rounded tannins, subtle five-spice from French oak barrels. Perfectly aged with many years to evolve.
Pinot Noir 'Tradition' 2022
Our ‘Tradition’ Pinot Noir is sourced from the west-facing slopes of the Naramata Bench. This site enjoys the perfect synergy of a warm microclimate with cool soils ensuring a long, even ripening. The fruit is hand-harvested at just the right time to preserve Pinot’s inherent elegance.

Pinot Noir 'Artist' 2022
Light red in colour, this Pinot Noir has beautiful aromas of Morello cherry, cola, and five-spice. The palate boasts sweet pipe tobacco and an herbal freshness, while soft, dusty tannins lend gentle structure to this wine.
Pinot Noir 'Tradition' Dundee Hills 2024
“This is a top 2024 replacement wine made in BC, with fruit purchased by the Roche family from the famed Dundee Hills in Oregon. There is lovely richness here and a rare combination of ripe fruit and fresh forest floor that speaks to Oregon’s volcanic Jory soils. Red fruited and lively, you get clarity of fruit with slippery tannins and savoury bright acidity, all of which makes it very easy to drink.”
Anthony Gismondi
Pinot Noir 'Artist' Willamette Valley 2024
“This is an elegant replacement pinot noir, a collaboration between the Naramata-based Roche family and longtime friends who grow grapes in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The colour is medium-pale, with darker threads of blue/black fruit, subtle oak spice, and light, silky tannins. The tannins are refined, the palate silky, favouring elegance over power. The finish is lively and super Oregon savoury, with enough uniqueness to merit a place in the Artist Release.”
