Blue Mountain Reserve Pinot Gris 2017
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTime continues to slip by; the vines for this pinot gris are now 31 years old. Watch out Europe. Blue Mountain ferments using native yeast, with 70 percent fermented and aged in stainless steel, and the remaining 30 percent is fermented and aged for eight months in new to fourth fill-228L and 500L French oak barrels, plus one 2000L. The definition and subtle lines in the wine point to significant ageing, yielding creamy textures and long, understated, pear, stony mineral, and a touch of oil in the finish. Pesto pasta is a fun match, though fresh halibut and an orchard fruit salsa are a bit more serious.Tasted: 18 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $27.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
