Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFolks who live in BC know wild blackberries like nobody else because they grow just about everywhere. Picking them along a trail or a city lane has become an enjoyable birth rite, so it only makes sense that we have a wine made from these little black treasures. Rocky Creek has been turning out a blackberry wine for some time, and it is a local gem. Each bottle is the essence of the fruit. The palate is a mix of jammy, savoury, earthy, peppery fruit with a twist of liquorice and a hint of oxidation. Try this with an apple cake or ice cream.Tasted: 22 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaIf you live in BC, you know blackberries grow wild everywhere and picking them in the wild is a birth rite, but tasting equally compelling wine made with blackberries, well, that’s another level. Rocky Creek is so good at it there is three bottle limit on any order, and I’m okay with that. The wine is the essence of the fruit. The palate is jammy, with smoky, peppery, liquorice and this year, a softer, gentler finish. Best with ice cream or fruit pies. Screw cap next please.Tasted: 03 November 2018Tasted by: Prices:

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaThe Rocky Creek wild blackberries are picked by local First Nations, and in this particular wine, back in August 2013. After an extended cold soak, the yeast is added and it is partially fermented on its pulp before bring pressed off and finished in stainless steel. After several rackings what you get is an intense essence of blackberry fruit. The palate is jammy, with smoky, peppery, licorice flavours. Try it with ice cream or fruit pies. Unique and well done.Tasted: 21 October 2016Tasted by: Prices:

Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaIf you live in BC, picking blackberries in the wild is rite of birth and one of the tastiest late summer activities. That said, bears like to do the same thing so if you are out of pepper spray or courage or both, you can always turn to the liquid solution. Rocky Creek captures the pure essence of the fruit and manages to get it in the bottle unadulterated. Rich blackberry jam, liquorice and clove aromas and flavours tumble across the palate with fine intensity. We tried ours with ice cream.Tasted: 07 September 2016Tasted by: Prices:
