Hester Creek Character Pinot Gris Gewurztraminer 2017
Golden Mile Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI've been consistently impressed with the direction seen in the current releases from Hester Creek: tighter, fresher, dryer, while still maintaining wide appeal. Winemaker Mark Hopley is doing an excellent job of steering a freighter towards the future. Character white is a great example. What has been a bloated, sweeter, overripe white in the past now is showing snappy appeal. Yellow apple, pear, gooseberry, is blanketed with an ample (unnecessary) dose of RS at 9g/l, but thankfully met with a bright spark of acidity to counter. This results in a fresh, juicy, aromatic Okanagan white worthy of sharing.Tasted: 09 August 2018Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $17.95 | 750ml | winery direct, BC/AB: private wine shops, restaurants |
