Try pouring this for someone blind if you want to confound and amaze. Albariño and Verdejo? From Naramata in the Okanagan Valley? And a stunning one at that? Definitely fandango-worthy. This is the second vintage of this blend, singular in Canada, and it keeps getting better. Delicate orange blossom, whiffs of fresh herbs and greengage entice into a full and rich palate of herbal-kissed fruit: ripe white peach, peach fuzz, pear blossom, heavy honeydew and heady spice. This is a big, expansive wine (14% alcohol) with fervent intensity, but the juicy white grapefruit acidity keeps it feeling lively and balanced.
