River Stone Pinot Gris 2018
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaQuite golden in the glass with a strong nose of very ripe fleshy peach, pear, applesauce, and ripe banana, followed by candied aromas and a generous scent of herbal honey and tinned tropical fruit. These emphatically sweet aromas are mirrored in the sweet attack of slightly overripe stone fruit and fuzzy peaches, showing a touch hot and dilute. The finish has a slight spicy burn, and a softness that could use a little more stiffening acidity. A richer, off-dry style that drinks fine casually on a patio with a view.Tasted: 17 July 2019Tasted by: DJ KearneyPrices:BC | $20.90 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA stores, private liquor stores |
