In Flanders Field- by John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

With Gray Monk Representative Iva

Gray Monk 2014 Pinot Auxerrois $16.51 +taxes 
Pale lemon in colour, this wine has a fruity aroma with muted notes of lime. The complex layers of fruit flavour suggest peaches and sweetened rhubarb with a refreshing underlying acidity. Served chilled, this wine is delicious on its own, with salads, seafood or poultry.  

Gray Monk 2015 Pinot Gris $17.38 +taxes 
The grapes used in the Pinot Gris were selected from vineyards in the northern Okanagan Valley. The grapes were picked at over 22 Brix. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation in order to retain maximum freshness. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks. 

"The wine shows a delicate bronze blush in the glass. It has aromas of fine herbs, citrus and citrus peal. On the palate, the wine has a luscious texture with flavours of pear, apple and white peach. The wine is well balanced, with the residual sweetness plumping up the fruit in the classic Gray Monk style. 90 points."
- John Schreiner 


Gray Monk 2014 Reflection Muscat $18.25 +taxes 
Inspired by the reflection of a sailboat resting peacefully in a secluded cove, this wine is meant to be enjoyed while reflecting on the day’s events. Gently fortified and delicately balanced, this is a wine that begs to be shared among friends.

Gray Monk 2012 Odyssey Cabernet Sauvignon $29.56 +taxes 
This rich full bodied red wine is made of grapes grown in the south Okanagan Valley. Extra time on the vine and aging in new French oak barrels has yielded flavours of ripe cherry, plums and a delicate hint of cedar.
"Peppery, roasted bell pepper, spicy, coffee, smoky, cassis, black olive, cranberry aromas. Dry, elegant, fresh palate with some light tannins. Good effort!"
- Tony Gismondi (Vancouver Sun) 


Gray Monk 2011 Red Meritage $32.17 +taxes 
This full bodied wine is composed of the three traditional varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Odyssey Meritage 2012.jpgCabernet Franc, all grown in the South Okanagan Valley. Aged in new French oak barrels, the result is flavours reminiscent of blackberry jam with a hint of vanilla lending it well to pairing with lamb and beef dishes.

"Lots of dark fruit, spice, soft acid, spicy firm tannins. Great texture. "
- Jim Martin


Gray Monk Odyssey Fortified Wine $19.12 +taxes 
In the true family tradition of Gray Monk, Odyssey III signifies three generations of commitment to bringing the very best to your table.

Soft, round, full, moderately sweet style with light tannins. Coffee, chocolate, cherry kirsch, peppery, spicy, cedar, tobacco flavours.” - Anthony Gismondi
