Blue Grouse Estate Pinot Gris 2016
Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaFrom some of the oldest pinot gris vines in BC, and one of the first vineyards on Vancouver Island, this Cowichan pinot gris was 1/5 fermented in new French oak with the remainder in stainless. Crunchy pear, green apple, white peach, lemon is plumped up with cedar spiced wood before a sour apple, lemon quirt, short finish. Disjointed now, best to pour this simple white with lemon dressed calamari.Tasted: 18 August 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $22.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
