Haywire Pinot Gris Switchback Vineyard Raised in Concrete 2013
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of the most memorable wines of Vancouver Wine Festival 2017. This wine continues to impress every time I try it, building complexities with age. This week the sage brush really stood out throughout the creamy, flint-framed palate. Herbal wildflowers, salted fennel, honeysuckle is carried along the concrete texture. Quietly confident and alluring. A wine about place, not grape.Tasted: 23 February 2017Tasted by: Prices:

Haywire Pinot Gris Switchback Vineyard Raised in Concrete 2013
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFlint, cream, subtle white florals and herbal wildflowers open this layered gris. The medium bodied palate carries white pepper, salted wild herbs, pear and pear skin, fennel, cracked stone and a beauty wave of honeysuckle along savoury, concrete texture. Sea salt lingers on the finish. This wine transcends the grape; firm presence and quiet confidence in this complex white. Revisited December 2015 and continue to be impressed. Can't wait to try again next year.Tasted: 07 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:
