Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWho knew roussanne and viognier from the Naramata Bench would emerge one of the iconic wines of BC? Seems Senka and Bob Tennat did. Perfumed peach, tangerine, apricot fuzz, lime pith, mandarine blossoms on the medium bodied palate, intense with potency, but restrained with elegance. The whole is brightened with a sunny orange citrus acidity to a spicy, gingerbread finish. Impressive, and with some years ahead.Tasted: 26 September 2017Tasted by: Prices:
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaRoussanne, viognier and viognier. Now who thought of that besides winemaker Senka Tennant. Well the Rhone Valley did but watch out for the Naramata Bench. The blend is frankly peachy with some apricots, yellow plums, limes and desert sage and it couldn’t be more perfect. The acid remains lively and the secret to a wine that could die from its own unctuousness, yet doesn’t. Rather it’s perfect and a rare bottle you want to finish. Fish seems the match but the Tennants suggest nut crusted meats. Stock up. Winery/private wine shops only.Tasted: 26 July 2017Tasted by: Prices:
