Blue Mountain Pinot Gris 2015

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaIn another league from most BC pinot gris, and from around the world for that matter. A ripe year has brought more orange and aromatics to the 2015. Texture and weight manages the bright orchard fruit notes flecked with tropical melons and pineapple. There’s just enough acidity and minerality to keep it all together. Normally this wine needs time but you can start drinking it now. Today the vines are 29 years old. Some 60 percent is wild fermented in stainless steel, and the remainder is fermented in new to 4th fill oak. Fine value.Tasted: 04 January 2017Tasted by: Prices:
