British Columbia

Moon Curser Vineyards 2021 Arneis, Okanagan Valley $26.99

January 24, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

The fact that Arneis in Italian translates to “little rascal” probably makes it even more endearing to fun-loving and sometimes irreverent folks at Moon Curser. Their expression with this white grape accents the yellow orchard fruit and jasmine notes. Melon and kiwi fruit add some fleshiness to the midpalate, then there’s a zesty finish of Meyer lemon that still allows for … [Read more...] about Moon Curser Vineyards 2021 Arneis, Okanagan Valley $26.99

Hester Creek Estate Winery 2021 Block 12 Sèmillon, Golden Mile Bench $21.99

January 19, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

These vines are in their third decade of life, which makes them on the younger side at Hester Creek, where they continue to nurture plantings from 1968. Their Sept. 16 harvest came at 22 Brix, and the stainless steel approach preserves aromas of lemon rind, ribbons of honey and saline. The burst of lemon in the mouth with perky acidity balances the ripe nectarine and creamy … [Read more...] about Hester Creek Estate Winery 2021 Block 12 Sèmillon, Golden Mile Bench $21.99

Moon Curser Vineyards 2020 Malbec, Okanagan Valley $34.99

January 16, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Perched above Lake Osoyoos near the Crowsnest Highway, New Zealand-trained founding winemaker Chris Tolley and Christian Scagnetti continue to wow critics for their brilliance with varieties that many consumers are unfamiliar with. Malbec is among those. Theirs offers intense tones of purple fruit — black currant and blueberry — along with violets, age-worthy tannins and a … [Read more...] about Moon Curser Vineyards 2020 Malbec, Okanagan Valley $34.99

Hester Creek Estate Winery 2021 Old Vine Pinot Blanc, Golden Mile Bench $17.99

January 16, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Best Buy! Western Canada’s first Master of Wine — Barbara Philip — has long believed Pinot Blanc deserves to be revered in British Columbia. Here’s a Platinum Award to add to her argument. Its aromas include wonderful white peach, honeydew melon, crushed lemon and fresh-cut green apple. Those same fruits are present on a palate that finishes with brightness. Pair this with … [Read more...] about Hester Creek Estate Winery 2021 Old Vine Pinot Blanc, Golden Mile Bench $17.99

Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2021 Private Reserve Pinot Gris, Okanagan Valley $15.99

January 15, 2023 by Great Northwest Wine Leave a Comment

Best Buy! One of the Northwest’s premier Pinot Gris vineyards is along British Columbia’s Golden Mile Bench, where the Gehringer family has earned five Platinums for its work with this white grape from Burgundy. Aromas of peach blossom, honeysuckle and clover honey lead to luscious flavors of grapefruit, starfruit and lime juice. Its energizing acidity makes this an ideal foil … [Read more...] about Gehringer Brothers Estate Winery 2021 Private Reserve Pinot Gris, Okanagan Valley $15.99
