Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

You can't ask for much more in a Pinot Gris than the pronounced aromatics here - mock orange blossoms and talc with flinty mineral notes that have you lingering over the glass before your first sip. Then you enjoy peach and apricot delivered on a silky medium-bodied stream. The beautiful balance of fruit and acid here belie the 14.5% ABV. The pleasant finish exemplifies persistence. This is delightful on its own but would also shine beside a goat cheese and stonefruit salad or chicken with grilled nectarines. Tasted 5 May 2022 thewineloverskitchen.com

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
