Van Westen Vineyards Vixen 2015
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVixen is a late harvest blend of 52/28 pinot blanc and pinot gris that reflects a generous, warm, vintage pushing this edition toward an auslese-style German riesling. Rich, ripe almost candied apple mark the nose and plate. Bright rich, poached pear flavours drizzled with honey and cinnamon spice and much like last year a fat sweet, almost icewine-like finish. A perfect match for your favourite fruit crumble albeit with a little less acid than we would prefer.Tasted: 22 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $17.30 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops, restaurants |
