Kim Crawford Small Parcels Favourite Homestead Pinot Gris 2012
Awatere Valley, Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandNew Zealand pinot gris is a chameleon, from rich and concentrated through the spectrum to zesty and lean. This small parcels pinot gris is in the former camp, a textured, spicy and ripe gris that balances out scented baskets of orchard fruit and musk melon with a zesty, grapefruit acidity. A blanket of lees covers the bottom layer of this fuller bodied wine, one that ends a bit bluntly with pear skin and ample toasty spice.Tasted: 24 December 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
