Community Tasting Note

  • passion4wine Likes this wine: 92 points

    March 22, 2018 - A lovely cool climate white Rhone blend consisting of 50% Viognier, 32% Roussanne, and 18% Marsanne — from British Colombia.

    Lovely notes of apricot, pear, honey, and nectarine with a full body mouthfeel and nice viscosity and a delicate acidity with good balance. Very well made.

    I wish I could find this in the States—purchased from a BC wine store in Vancouver in Yale Town.

    Are you able to become a Petit Club Member? m not sure of the rules between US and BC, but the Petit Club sends out 6 bottles every 6 months and it usually always includes 2 bottles of the Ava.

    This winery has become one of my faves after first tasting their Pinot Noir at a special dinner in Whistler. They also make a wonderful rose (Vaila) and Syrahs.

    Good luck in your quest!

And shipping could be very expensive! Though maybe it's just a good excuse to make a journey to Van a couple times a year and bring my allocation back to USA! Agreed, they are perhaps my fave BC winery—a killer Merlot too!
