Best Buy! The winemaking team of Randy Picton and assistant Justin Hall, a member of the Osoyoos Indian Band, stick with their tradition of using Riesling (45%) as the base grape in this melange, but their blending talents shine this time by stitching together Sauvignon Blanc (29%), Pinot Blanc (12%), Ehrenfelser (6%), Sèmillon (6%) and Chardonnay. One might believe there’s a bit of muscat in the mix, too, because it’s wildly aromatic and enticing as hints of lychee, white peach and nectarine lead both the nose and the flavors. Remarkable acidity easily balances the 1.5% residual sugar, making this far from just a brunch wine. It can also be enjoyed with summertime salads, cheese plates, seafood and sushi. This was one of three entries by Picton and Hall to earn a gold medal at the 2015 British Columbia Wine Awards.
