Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAnother solid effort from the Reserve series. The fruit comes off estate vineyards on Black Sage Road and Naramata Ranch. In all, some 60 blocks were involved in the blend, 25 percent of which was barrel-fermented in French oak, and five percent of that was new wood. The nose and palate is bright pear with a squeeze of lemon, and the mid-palate is firm and dry. Don’t bother looking for any sugar; it ends with the perfect lime pith bitterness. Rich, yet svelte, I can think of dozens of matches for this wine starting with pesto pasta.Tasted: 03 July 2019Tasted by: Prices: BC 21.99 winery direct, VQA wine shops

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom two of MHFE's estate vineyards, Black Sage Road and Naramata Ranch, this is a mix of 60 different blocks, and was one quarter fermented in French oak (five percent of which was new). Potent primary pear, yellow apple, white peach, and spice rides along a silky palate, slightly plump via lees and wood to a bitter pear skin, lime pith finish. There's a stately structure to this gris, making it proper for drinking alongside white-fleshed proteins.Tasted: 04 June 2019Tasted by: Prices: BC 21.99 winery direct, VQA wine shops
