British Columbia

Township 7 Vineyards & Winery 2019 Seven Stars Polaris Sparkling Wine, Okanagan Valley, $39

June 12, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Mary McDermott produced this 2019 gorgeous Blanc de Blanc sparkler using 100% Chardonnay grapes from the British Columbia producers' estate planting on the Naramata Bench and Hidden Terrace Vineyard near Oliver. Lively mousse greets the eye and nose to offer up citrus and fresh cut crisp green apple. These fruits are echoed on the palate accompanied with bright acidity and a … [Read more...] about Township 7 Vineyards & Winery 2019 Seven Stars Polaris Sparkling Wine, Okanagan Valley, $39

Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2021 Ehrenfelser, Okanagan Valley $14.99

January 29, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Best Buy! Back in 2002, the Gehringer brothers notched their first career Platinum via this cross of Riesling and Silvaner — developed in the Rheingau city of Geisenheim where Walter Gehringer went to school. Here is their 17th Platinum with that early-ripening grape. It opens with a sweet perfume of apricot, white peach and honey. The honey continues, lightly coating the … [Read more...] about Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2021 Ehrenfelser, Okanagan Valley $14.99

Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2021 Classic Riesling, Okanagan Valley $14.99

January 28, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Best Buy! The Gehringers have won 27 Platinums just for their Riesling program, an enduring tribute to their winemaking and winegrowing education in West Germany. This continues to be one of the New World’s most remarkable examples of this noble grape. It is fresh, fruity and steely with a blade or two of grass as white peach, Bartlett pear and lemon/lime combine to pop in the … [Read more...] about Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2021 Classic Riesling, Okanagan Valley $14.99

Moon Curser Vineyards 2020 Touriga Naçional, Okanagan Valley $43.99

January 27, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Several years ago, winemaker Chris Tolley amazed our Platinum panel with his Carménère, so it makes sense that his dry expression with this Port variety would achieve Platinum, too. The extraction and tannin management achieved is remarkable as they make this jammy with blackberry, blueberry and plum tones. Add white pepper to the spice box, too. The combination explains why it … [Read more...] about Moon Curser Vineyards 2020 Touriga Naçional, Okanagan Valley $43.99

Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2021 Dry Rock Vineyard Unoaked Chardonnay, Golden Mile Bench $14.99

January 25, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Best Buy! Throughout their history together, Walter Gehringer has abstained from using oak on the grapes his brother, Gordon, grows across their estate at the southern end of the Okanagan Valley. Six of their Platinums have been with unoaked Chardonnay, a delicious testament to the approach that hints of tree-ripened Honeycrisp apples and wonderful citrus, backed by a midpalate … [Read more...] about Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2021 Dry Rock Vineyard Unoaked Chardonnay, Golden Mile Bench $14.99
