Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaPromising direction for Blue Grouse, under new ownership since 2012 and with winemaker Bailey Williamson at the helm. This crisp, maritime-edged pinot gris opens with bright lemon, youthful apricot and white peach. A gentle plumpness in the mid-palate via partial barrel fermentation is a welcome move, the cushion offsetting the tart gooseberry and lean cantaloupe freshness. Spicy, white peach fuzz and a bitter, floral, herbaceous finish. Welcomes pouring with prawns or scallops.Tasted: 09 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:
