- Delicious! Pale golden colour doesn't suggest what the nose and palate deliver. This is a beatifully aromomatic. Floral, pear, spice, lanolin. A Blend of Alsacian grapes but produced in British Columbia. Food friendly with just a hint of sweetness balanced by some tangy acidity. Well worth seeking out.

- My favourite wine at the moment. The 2006 Riesling is also quite lovely, which makes for a nice alternative as A Noble Blend is sold out almost everywhere (although the large bottle is still available at places like Liberty).

- This wine is a very complex blend, with fruit purchased from both Okanagan and Similkameen vineyards.The blend: Gewürztraminer (21%), Riesling (20%), Pinot Blanc (23%), Kerner (18%), Muscat (8%), Auxerrois (5%), and Ehrenfelser (2%). One can almost pick up the intense fruit flavours in this wine with one's hands! It is a tropical fruit medley, tasting of peaches, ripe pineapples, raisins, spice, both on the palate and in the aromas. Its eight grams of residual sugar give the wine a fat, juicy texture and a long fruity finish. 980 cases produced. Score: 88 points
