Haywire Pinot Gris Secrest Mountain Vineyard 2015

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom the limestone-laced Secrest Mountain Vineyard in Oliver, this organically-farmed pinot gris was wild yeast fermented and aged in concrete tanks. Broad and wide, perhaps reflective of the warm 2015 vintage, with dusty herbs, persimmon, creamy pear and yellow apple floating on a creamy leesy cushion. A gentle swell of acidity works hard to carry the orchard fruit to the tropical fruit-fed finish. Missing the hallmark acidity of previous vintages, and hope to find it again in future vintages.Tasted: 25 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
