Van Westen Vineyards Viognier 2012

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe latest Van Westen viognier over delivers on the nose with rich tropical tones mixing honey ginger and litchi fruit aromas flecked with orange and rosewater. The attack is juicy and fresh but with creamy lees more ginger, litchi, lemon oil and white flowers. The Van Westen wines always have a sense of finesse and balance that shows itself in the glass. All the fruit comes of two north Naramata sites: Orlando Vineyard and Granite Ridge Vineyard.Tasted: 16 April 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
