Our Summa Quies Vineyard was first planted in 2004.  From that small start we have continually expanded to over 15,000 vines at present.

The Summa Quies Vineyard has 8 varieties: Pinot Noir, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.

The first vintage was 2006.  In three short years the Summa Quies vineyard has produced a Lt. Governor award winning wine, multiple Silver and Bronze medal wines, two Gold Medal wines and the first ever Pinot Noir to be crowned Red Wine of the Year 2010 by Wine Access Magazine.

We hope you enjoy our wines.

Cheers

2009 Summa Quies Estate Sin Cera, 300 Cases Produced, $31/bottle

The 2009 Sin Cera, our 4th vintage from the still young Summa Quies vineyard, is a blend of Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. With 16 months of barrel aging in premium new, 2nd and 3rd fill French oak. The wine is: 29% Merlot, 37% Malbec, 25% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon.

John Schriener:  90-93. Points
A tank sample of Sin Cera 2009 - the wine will be released perhaps this fall for just over $30 – is already impressive and shows great potential to develop in the bottle. It is a chewy, concentrated red with flavours of plums, olives, figs and with long ripe tannins.

Winescores.ca:  92 points
Copious floral notes...violets, lilacs, purple fruit and vanilla, smoky spices and savoury undertones...very concentrated...abundant fruit layered with spice, dark chocolate and espresso and finishes with fine, ripe tannins.
Bravo!
