  Cabernet Franc
The 2003 Cabernet Franc has a deep brick red colour. Raspberry, spice and vanilla aromas dominate the nose. In the mouth the wine is peppery and spicy, like cloves, and has deep, ripe berry flavours. There is a light acidity in the finish which adds to the wine's long finish. It has a fullness or a roundness in the mouth that makes this an elegant Cabernet Franc.
  Cabernet/Merlot
The complex aromas of this wine include bright fruit, some spice from the oak aging as well as some earthiness. The wine has a slightly elevated level of acidity but has a long finish that is smooth and rich. Cherry and raspberry fruit flavours dominate the wine.
  Chardonnay
Aromas of light lemon, apples and a hint of vanilla are found in this Chardonnay. In the mouth, the creaminess from the portion that was barrel fermented comes out, but it does not mask the ripe fruit that has been well preserved in the wine's flavour.
  Gewurztraminer
This is a crisp, bright wine. It has classic tropical aromas. The natural acidity from the grapes and lightly sweet finish balance perfectly on the palate. The tangy flavors are dominated by a fresh fruitiness - a combination of tropical, citrus fruits and stone fruit. Think pineapple and apricot with just a hint of floral.
  Kerner Icewine
If this wine were human, it would be blessed with good genes - no pinching an inch on it. Its home would be immaculate. Time spent - thinking - in front of a great piece of art would be cherished. It would be charming even to strangers - and never in your face. It would
  Kerner Late Harvest
Spicy fruit and tropical and aromas abound in this late harvest wine made from our estate grapes in the South Okanagan Valley. The 2002 growing season was warm, allowing excellent fruit flavours to develop. The wine was vinted in a lighter style, making it a perfect accompaniment to many desserts. This Late Harvest Kerner was harvested on January 6, 2003 at 28 Brix.
  Merlot
This 2003 Merlot is a bit of a departure from previous vintages in that it has a real roundness in the mouth that was evident in the wine right after fermentation was complete. This velvety wine is packed with deep berry fruit and jam-like flavours. It's ready to drink right at release time.
  Oldfield's Collection Merlot
Deep red in colour, this Oldfield's Collection Merlot is packed with deep, fruity aromas like cassis and blackberry. It also has the deep, berry fruit in the mouth as well as some spiciness and rich oak notes. The finish is long, lingering and very smooth. The tannins are big but have rounded out nicely making this a wine that can be enjoyed right at release time or laid down for aging.
  Pinot Gris
This vintage of Pinot Gris is a fresh and fruity wine that has a smooth feel in your mouth followed with a good citrus finish. There is a slight hint of the oak barrel that contributes to the complexity of this wine.
  Pinot Noir
Intense cherry aromas dominate the nose on this wine. There are also some hints of raspberries and floral notes. In the mouth, the high fruitiness is accompanied by a velvety smoothness that lingers for a long finish.
