Van Westen Vineyards Vino Grigio 2022
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI like most of the Van Westen portfolio, but if anyone could use a reset, it might be this pinot gris. I'm sure it's popular. It is all hand picked from Home Lot Vineyard. I wish it had been picked a little earlier and had more electricity. Its signature is honeyed orchard fruit streaked with juicy, sweet orange. It is easy to sip, and many will find this style delicious, so what do I know? Maybe keep this label and make another style for those who want a tighter, leaner version. Best with lightly spiced Asian fare.Tasted: 07 November 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $22.50 | 750ml | winery direct, select private wine shops |
