Written By Treve Ring Libations / White Wine Apr 25, 2011 Young & Wyse Amber 2010 SHARE VIA: Facebook Twitter PinterestOsoyoos, Okanagan Valley, BC$20-25 +16584 available at winery or select private liquor storeswww.youngandwysewine.com Great name, great packaging, great story. We’re on third base before we even taste this wine – always a good sign. Winemaker Stephen Wyse hails from legendary Burrowing Owl, where he’s been crafting his family’s cult wines for the past decade. Together with his partner, Michelle Young, Stephen is out to add another chapter to the Wyse wine dynasty with the launch of his handcrafted Young & Wyse.Carrying on the family tradition, Amber is named for Stephen and Michelle’s daughter, and fittingly glows a deep lemon in the glass. The unique blend of 47% Viognier, 38% Pinot Gris, 15% Gewurztraminer gives sweet ripe peach, apricot and citrus aromas. These carry through to the crisp and dry, somewhat oily palate, joined by light tropical fruit and tart pear. Fresh lime juice finish. There is a whiff of young white flowers on the finish, adding emphasis to the lingering citrus. Stainless steel fermentation preserves the fresh fruit, but there is enough heft here (and alcohol – 14%) to take on poached chicken or fish.Rating: (click here to see what our wine ratings mean) EATrecommendsYoung & Wyse Amber 2010Carrying on the family tradition, Amber is named for Stephen and Michelle’s daughter, and fittingly glows a deep lemon in the glass.
