Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

A very subtle wine with delicate aromas of white melon. Not heavy or fruity. Clean and crisp. Nice aperitif. Food matches: organic greens tossed with sun-dried cranberries, fresh herb dressing and asiago.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

The grapes used in the Gray Monk 2008 Pinot Blanc were harvested between 20 and 21 Brix from vineyards in both northern and southern Okanagan Valley. The juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks using a yeast that enhances flavour development.
