cedarcreek Estate Winery cedarcreek Estate Winery medals for two Chardonnays and the Greata Ranch Pinot Blanc. This was followed up by being named Canada’s Winery of the Year by Wine Access magazine in the same year, a feat they repeated in 2005. The 2010 vintage has seen the next big phase of change at CedarCreek. Winemaker Tom DiBello has moved on and been replaced by Australian winemaker Darryl Brooker. Brooker has the exciting but challenging task of not CEdarCrEEK CHardonnay Bc vQA $17.90 237974 A beautifully made chardonnay at a great price! The nose shows well-integrated oak aromas with complexity of lemon, custard, peach, lees, popcorn and butter. The palate is dry and quite full and lush, balanced by crisp acidity. The oak combines nicely with flavours of peach, lemon, minerals, vanilla and melon. only continuing CedarCreek’s success, but taking the wines to the next level. “Darryl spends a lot of time in the vineyards,” says Gordon Fitzpatrick. Brooker says “I want to get to know the best sites and make wines that reflect the terroir.” In fact, the new focus on terroir is so strong that from the 2010 vintage all Platinum Reserve wines will be single-vineyard. Brooker is excited about the diversity of vineyard sites that the CEdarCrEEK pinot noir Bc vQA $26.90 567412 With pronounced aromas of strawberry, black cherry, raspberry, spice, caramel and pretty floral notes, this is a beautiful Pinot Noir nose. The palate is dry and fresh, with zippy acidity, youthful tannins and flavours of cherry, raspberry and clove that pairs nicely with lighter red meats and your favourite poultry. Fitzpatrick family have accumulated. The vines in Kelowna and Peachland are now quite mature and even the Desert Ridge vineyard in Osoyoos is almost 10 years old. These mature vines add more character in the wines and are allowing Brooker to make some tweaks to the lineup to better reflect the sites. “We’ve probably made the most changes to the aromatic whites,” says Brooker. “I want to make the wines more distinctive to the varietal and make each more distinct from each other.” Like many winemakers, Brooker is a big Pinot Noir fan and wants to take the already successful CedarCreek examples to the next level. “I’m trying to get some finesse and elegance and more classic Pinot Noir character in the wines,” says Brooker. With 25 years of experience, the changes and evolution continue at CedarCreek. Adapting to the times and consumers’ increased interest in terroirdriven wines, CedarCreek is keeping ahead of the curve, continuing to make better wines and keeping things interesting. We can’t wait to see what surprises the next 25 years will bring. CEdarCrEEK MErlot Bc vQA $19.90 408666 This Bc merlot has an inviting nose of plums, brambly mixed berries and oak-derived notes of chocolate, vanilla and toast. The palate is rich and full in body, balanced by crisp acidity and grippy tannins. Typical merlot flavours unfold in this juicy, dry wine with plum, cherry liqueur, chocolate, oak and spice all evident. A lush, rich and structured wine that should age well.
