Quill 2018 Q Red Viticulture and Composition Designated Viticultural Area (DVA): British Columbia Merlot 75% | Okanagan – Oliver Harvest Date: October 18, 2018 · Brix 25.0 · TA 5.0 Cabernet Franc 11.5% | Okanagan – Oliver Harvest Date: October 19, 2018 · Brix 24.0 · TA 5.5 Marechal Foch 13.5% | Vancouver Island – Cowichan Valley Harvest Date: October 3, 2018 · Brix 22.0 · TA 8.2 Vineyards Notes The Merlot and Cabernet Franc are single vineyard Okanagan fruit purchased from our grape growing partner just north of the town of Oliver. The Marechal Foch is from a single vineyard in the Cowichan Valley about 14 kilometers northwest of our own estate (mid-valley). Both are quality grapes suppliers who have long standing relationships with Blue Grouse. Winemaker’s Notes Each grape variety was handled and fermented separately. The Merlot and Cabernet Franc were allowed to soak for two days and then heated to initiate a natural fermentation. The high brix reading from these grapes forced a second inoculation with cultured yeast halfway through the process to ensure they fermented to dryness. The Marechal Foch was immediately inoculated with yeast and finished fermenting to dryness in 8 days. The wines were pressed separately and racked to a combination of American and French oak barrels. Each of the three wines were aged for 12 months in barrel and then the individual components blended to create the final wine. Profile & Food Pairing This robust red wine exhibits aromas of caramel, black cherry and licorice with rich cocoa and cloves on the finish. Crank up the BBQ and pair this wine with grilled steak, veggie or lamb burgers.

Corporate Strategic Plan
COWICHAN VALLEY REGIONAL DISTRICT STRATEGIC PLAN 2020-2022 CVRD DIRECTORS AREA A Mill Bay/Malahat Blaise Salmon OVERVIEW AREA B Shawnigan Lake FROM THE BOARD CHAIR Sierra Acton AREA C It is my privilege to present the Cowichan Valley Regional District's 2020-2022 Strategic Plan on Cobble Hill behalf of the CVRD Board of Directors. Mike Wilson AREA D The Plan presents a series of strategic objectives chosen by the Board to address the challenges Cowichan Bay facing the regional community, including the economic impacts of COVID-19, changes to our Lori Iannidinardo climate, the health of our ecosystems and water resources, and the need for progressive growth AREA E management. Opportunities for reconciliation with First Nations are also reflected in the Board's Cowichan Station/Sahtlam/Glenora Alison Nicholson objectives, as are residents' expectations related to meaningful engagement, cost-effective services, and strong fiscal accountability. AREA F Cowichan Lake South/Skutz Falls Ian Morrison (Vice Chair) The strategic objectives are organized under five themes adapted from Cowichan 2050, the long- AREA G term regional collaboration strategy. Actions are listed to support and help achieve each Saltair/Gulf Islands objective. Lynne Smith AREA H The process to develop the Strategic Plan started in 2019, before the onset of the COVID-19 North Oyster/Diamond pandemic. By the time the region-wide lockdown began in March, 2020, much of the Plan had Vacant been drafted. Following the partial lifting of restrictions in the summer of 2020 the Board AREA I gathered to revisit its work. What Directors quickly realized was that, rather than rendering the Youbou/Meade Creek earlier work irrelevant, COVID-19 and its impacts served to emphasize the importance of the Klaus Kuhn themes and the timeliness of the objectives and actions identified.

Cowichan Valley Sub-Geographical Indication
Cowichan Valley Sub- Geographical Indication February 2019 Technical Description and Geographic Extent Documentation in support of a formal application to the BC Wine Authority for the creation of a new sub-GI named Cowichan Valley. Scott Smith, Eterrna Consulting Elizabeth Kenney, Elizabeth A. Kenney Consulting Pat Bowen, Summerland Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Cowichan Valley Sub-Geographical Indication Page 1 Cowichan Valley Sub-Geographical Indication Cowichan Valley Sub-Geographical Indication TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIO N AND GEOGRAPHIC EXT ENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The fundamental approach used by the BC Wine Authority to define the geographic extent of sub- GIs is to use, wherever possible, natural features to place boundaries. In the Cowichan Valley we used several different natural features to delineate the extent of the proposed sub-GI, an area of approximately 350 km2. The sub-GI extends from the coast between Maple Bay and Mill Bay in the east to Cowichan Lake in the west and from the Cowichan estuary watershed boundary in the north to Cobble Hill in the south. Detailed maps and the rationalization for boundary placement are given in the report along with descriptions of the surficial geology, soils, climate and viticulture of the valley. The Cowichan Valley landscape was formed as the result of Pleistocene glacial advances and retreats, sea level changes and more recent erosional processes. Surficial deposits of till, glaciofluvial sands and gravels, marine silty clays and recent floodplains provide the parent materials upon which the soils of the valley are formed. Vineyards are located on a range of soil types and soil textures.
