Township 7 Reserve Pinot Gris Naramata Bench Estate Vineyard 2018
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSimilar to last year, this Naramata Reserve Pinot Gris is operating at another level, leaving me once again to ask why there is a regular version? Expect freshness and a vibrancy that comes with a hint of sweetness this year that will be well received by many but tends to limit its work with food to spicier dishes. Sweet peaches, ripe pears, lemon, honeydew melons suggest it is ready to drink. The reserve is barrel fermented in neutral French oak with another five months of ageing further in bottle, rounding out its finish.Tasted: 30 August 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $26.97 | 750ml | clubSeven exclusive |
