Van Westen Vineyards

Vino Grigio Naramata Bench Pinot Grigio 2017

The whites from Van Westen are often overlooked under the shadow of their excellent reds. This grigio is excellent though. This wine is real and without gimmicks. That almost makes it an exception for Pinot Gris in Naramata. Genuine and well made. A very nice glass of wine with the mineral, lemon, and sage in perfect balance. — 5 years ago

Naramata Village Grown Unfiltered Cabernet Franc 2013

Pulled this one out of the cellar. Cedar, elegant, silky, smoke and stewed plums on the nose, zesty and bright, herbaceous with ultra dry cherry cola palate. Delightful. It’s aged very well. — 10 months ago
