Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA 2019 gris at the end of its run, pitching ripe pear, sweet gooseberry, and plenty of honeyed notes from front to back. Round and plush with some apparent sweetness, I like serving it with a favourite Thai or Indian curry. The fruit is a mix of Foundation and Coyote Bowl vineyards in the south Okanagan, spending six months ageing in 80/20 stainless steel tanks and barrels.Tasted: 17 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis pinot gris comes off Foundation and Coyote Bowl vineyards in the south Okanagan and a mix of gravels and sandy loams. This spent six months resting in a blend of 80/20 stainless/barrels. The fact that it was a current release in 2019 is somewhat concerning. However, this opens with fragrant pear, gooseberry, and white peach along an off-dry, floral, slightly watery palate, finishing with a gentle flush of warmth. Try with lightly spiced Indian or Japanese curries.Tasted: 02 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:
