Stoneboat, on the Black Sage Gravelbar in Oliver, is now owned by Rudy Verhoeff and Kyla Richey, former professional volleyball athletes. They also own Valley Commons, is a winery established in the District Wine Village in Oliver in 2021. Both wineries fall under the Verhoeff Group of Companies, which is headed by Paul Verhoeff, Rudy's father. The family also owns a flooring company, a brewery and restaurants in the Fraser Valley.
This reserve Pinot Noir has a classic Old World character, which suggests aromas of tar and roses, rhubarb and carrot tops, spice, forest floor, cranberry and cedar. It has a silky entry with notable structure and plenty of earth, juicy red berry and tealeaf flavours.
