C.C. Jentsch The Quest 2016

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe mix is 61/27/12 chardonnay/viognier/gewürztraminer and its fresh, bright and exciting on the nose and palate. The estate fruit is from their site on Road 13, the Cachola and Sportsman's Bowl vineyards, and from a new chardonnay estate in cooler Summerland. Expect a fresh citrus palate from the Summerland chardonnay, richer floral viognier fruit, spice and aromatics from the gewürztraminer and weight and texture from some Oliver chardonnay. Love the delicious juicy drinkability here that doesn’t tire the palate. Made for alfresco summer lunches and dinners. Good value.Tasted: 22 July 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
