Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAs Treve has rightfully suggested in her note, the style of BC viognier is all over the place, but when in doubt I prefer this brighter, tighter style. A part of winemaker Nikki Callaway’s Collector's Series, it opens with a floral, spicy fresh nose. The palate offers up a crunchy version of apricots and more honeysuckle dusted with Sagebrush and a grating of smoky, citrus drenched almonds. Impressive and well worth joining the club for access. You could cellar this through 2020 no problem, or serve with a chicken curry dish.Tasted: 04 May 2018Tasted by: Prices:
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOh Canadian viognier - you're so confusing. Thankfully, this is one of the better ones. This is a new release from Quails' Gate, and slotted into one of their Collector's Series. Characteristically viognier with its generous, waxy palate and ample jasmine spicing. Honeysuckle, downy white peach, apricot, is scented with Okanagan scrub and cut with lime peel, which tightens around the youthful, warming finish. A polished example, and one to watch in future vintages.Tasted: 04 May 2018Tasted by: Prices:
