DuMol Eddies Patch Syrah
$132.99
Winemaker’s Notes: "Less overtly fruity than Jack Robert’s Run, slower to open and overall a very different expression of Syrah. This is another wine of site and soil rather than Californian sun-filled fruit – so ultimately a far more complex experience than 99% of domestic Syrah. The deep red, iron-rich, highly-eroded mountain soils bring a rarely-matched complexity to this wine, but one that typifies many of the world’s greatest red wine vineyards. We don’t fully understand the reason, but the high iron oxide content allows for very special red grapes, full of complex terroir signatures. The shallow, steep hillside soils, also high in silica/quartz, contribute admirable freshness to the wine, so that while it’s dense, deep and rich, it’s never clumsy or overbearing, and the moderate alcohol level (14.34%) is easily held in check. You can age this vintage for many years and it will always give pleasure. The balsamic reduction notes will become more prominent with age as the fresh fruit fades, but this is a beautifully constructed Syrah and one of our finest ever Eddie’s Patch offerings. In my mind on a par quality-wise with the gorgeous 2009.
Deep blueberry, blackberry and dark cherry fruit with bay laurel, pine needle, menthol and a resonant balsamic note. The aromas directly translate to flavors. Wintergreen complexity, charcoal and a strong volcanic iron quality. Dark core of rich, full fruit. Walnut sweetness with dried herb freshness. Weighty and concentrated but wonderfully energetic. Plum skin tanginess on the mouth filling finish. There’s long term aging potential here.
Complex, multi-layered wine with fine interplay between vintage-derived deep fruit core and vineyard signature soil-driven elements." Winery notes

Vilmos Palinka Pear Brandy
$31.99
The origin of the word Palinka is from the Slavic "palit" which in Slovac means "to distill". It is most often made from plums, but in this case has been made from pears.
Spy Valley Pinot Noir
$31.99
At Spy Valley the emphasis on viticultural excellence creates wines that capture the essence of the environment and are classically Marlborough. Their wines are youthful, exuberant and bursting with fruit flavor and aroma. In addition to grape vineyards they have planted over 2000 olive trees. This Pinot Noir is bursting with aromas of the earth, spice and tar. Complex and very well made.
Spy Valley Sauvignon Blanc
$26.99
A treasure from New Zealand's Marlborough region, the winery is named after the satellite tracking station based in the area's Waihopai Valley. The Sauvignon Blanc is classic Marlborough with aromas of bell pepper and grapefruit and cut grass, leading into a palate of tropical fruit, citrus and fresh herbs. The mid-palate is rich, the acidity will make your mouth water and the finish is lingering. This award-winning wine is the perfect accompaniment to herb-crusted whitefish, oysters on the half-shell, or fresh arugula salads.
Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock
$5.69
Celebrator has a creamy head of tight bubbles contrasting beautifully with its profound dark robe. It is full-bodied and velvety from half a year's aging. Although it is strong, it is not overpowering. There is a wonderful and complex balance between the various malts, the alcohol and the subtle hops. A complex fruitiness of roasted malt and whole hop flowers make Celebrator great as a party drink with friends and family at celebrations. Despite its richness, it has a faintly smoky dryness in the finish.
Joie A Noble Blend
$38.99
A great wine from one of our favourite Okanagan producers! A Noble Blend is made in the spirit of Edelzwicker or Gentil, the traditional Germanic-varietal blend of the Alsace region of France. The literal translation of Edelzwicker is “a noble blend.” Year after year, this white wine is gorgeous, with lush peach, honeysuckle, and pink grapefruit aromas. A touch of botrytis adds richness, complementing the minerally, white pepper finish.
