Blue Mountain Reserve Pinot Gris 2017
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWhether labelled as pinot gris or pinot grigio, there’s a broad range of stylistic expressions of this grape throughout the Okanagan. What’s refreshing about Blue Mountain’s Reserve Pinot Gris is that it’s serious, but without striving to be from somewhere else. It tastes Okanagan-inspired. This falls almost right down the middle in terms of the pinot gris ripeness spectrum, balancing stone and tree fruits with delicate white flowers. And the winemaking works to accentuate the fruit, focusing on lees to add complexity and build a creamy texture alongside an oily viscosity that’s true to the variety. Other pinot gris may have more of a wow factor, but this excels with fruit purity and excellent length.Tasted: 20 May 2020Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $27.90 | 750ml | winery direct, private wine shops |
