WTN: Van Westen Vineyards "Vivacious" 2004

From BC's Naramata Bench. A 96-4 per cent blend of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Tank and barrel-fermented sur lie.

A very interesting wine from a winery that I had never heard of. A visiting friend from Vancouver (knowing how interested I am in BC wines) brought this for me. This is a very small, boutique winery, making around 400-600 cases a year.

Creamy with light citrus notes on the nose.

Moderately creamy in the mouth, light lemon, peppery and spicy. Refreshing and delicious.

Long, lemon-tinged finish.
