British Columbia, CanadaThe CedarCreek pinot gris is a 50/50 mix of 90 percent estate fruit from south and north of Penticton, which no doubt helps with volume, if not the vitality of this wine. Winemaker Taylor Whelan uses 30 percent neutral oak to add texture and mouthfeel, but truth be told it could use a bit more acidity and freshness. The attack is a mix of ripe fruit salad notes with a hint of butter and spice. A mid-week white for a sunny patio or appetizers. Best well chilled.Tasted: 02 October 2018Tasted by: Prices:

British Columbia, CanadaThe CedarCreek pinot gris is a mix of southern Okanagan and Kelowna fruit which no doubt helps with volume if not the vitality of this wine but then they have gone with 30 percent neutral oak ageing giving it added texture and mouthfeel. The attack is a mix of fruit salad notes with a hint of butter and just enough acidity and spice to keep it honest.

British Columbia, CanadaThe 2017 blends roughly equal parts pinot gris from the southern Okanagan and their Kelowna estate. This year they upped the neutral oak percentage to thirty, whereas it usually sits more around ten percent, with the remainder in stainless. The weight certainly is felt on the palate, one with more girth than some previous vintages. However, it has some persistent shimmery acidity, and the RS is dialled back from 2016, which is welcome. Gingersnap spicing on the finish.Tasted: 22 June 2018Tasted by: Prices:
