Pentâge Winery Pinot Gris 2006
Skaha Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe first, Pentâge pinot gris I have tasted gets a big thumbs up and it comes out of a very stylish, three-litre bag-in-a-(black)-box. The long but extremely narrow container fits perfectly, out of the way, along the sidewall of your refrigerator - ready to be poured from its state-of-the-art spout device. The winery claims it will have a three- month life span not that it will last more than a week in my house, but if you only want a glass and you need each one to be fresh, this is the ticket. Best of all, the wine is pretty delicious. Zesty lime rind and pink grapefruit flavours make it easy to sip. It's a bit more sauvignon than pinot gris but I can live with that thanks to the orange rind and mineral notes in the finish. Oh yes, it also sold in regular 750 ml bottles for $18.Tasted: 04 June 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $18.95 | 750ml | |
