Van Westen Vineyards Vivacious 2023

Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaVivacious is just that most years. It’s a pinot blanc with a dash of viognier, the latter softening the acidity and adding a touch of mid-palate weight and sweetness. Otherwise, this simple, straightforward white can take on various foods and entertain a patio crowd. It is a pear and lime affair on the palate with some support from orchard florals, a dash of orange, and a mineral finish. Clean and ready to drink.Tasted: 22 October 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
