New listing, made at Mission Hill in B.C. The label states that the fruit is from California, Washington, and B.C., so there is no confusion with VQA. Clean, fresh aromas of ripe pear, guava and lemon, with light herbaceousness. Mid-weight, fresh and fruity, with a hint of sweetness and lemony acidity on the finish. Balanced; good length
