Summerhill’s impressive Blanc de Blanc (white wine from white grapes) fizz has four years of maturing on its lees in bottle, which adds oodles of complexity.

The palate is a perfect mimic of the nose; it is creamy and intricate and is supported by a fine mousse and long tangy finish. It has fantastic balance and style. - Daenna Van Mulligen, Vines Magazine, Spring 2016

-"Both of the winery’s Pinot Noirs clearly have benefitted from the Burgundian detail that has gone into making them. This wine is dark in color, with a glorious aroma of cherry and toasty oak. The texture is every so silky; and the wine delivers flavours of cherries and red berries modified by a toasty, savoury spice. The wine benefitted greatly from a year in oak and three years in bottle before release. The finish is long. Bottom line: an elegant wine with good aging potential" - John Schreiner, May 2016.

Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is proud to announce the release of The Creek, its highly anticipated flagship wine. A toast to 23 years of experience in farming and winemaking on the southern Okanagan Valley, The Creek is an elegant, luscious and modern wine that reflects both place and time. 91 points - Beppi Crosariol, The Globe & Mail, Sep 2017
“After 23 years of crafting wines from the estate’s Diamondback Vineyard on Black Sage Bench and Tinhorn Creek Vineyard on the Golden Mile Bench, Tinhorn finally has its flagship red wine: The Creek. And it was well worth waiting for. It’s a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 9% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot that was pressed and racked to 40% new French and Hungarian oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing. The wines were racked to tank for blending in spring 2016, and then returned to barrel for a further eight months, for a total of 24 months of barrel ageing. It’s about sheer elegance on the nose, a sum of its parts, showing blackberries, cherries, black licorice, graphite, cassis and toasted oak spice and vanilla. It shows its teeth on the palate with a firm foundation of ripe tannins and generous fruit, spice, campfire smoke and earth. It is but a baby at this point and needs time to all calm down to fully appreciate the beauty. Wait for it, it is the new flagship wine, after all” 92 Points- Rick VanSickle & Michael Lowe, Wines in Niagara, Sep 2017.
