Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: This Pinot Gris from the warm Hawkes Bay region is another notable bargain. The nose features lovely peach, pear and apple aromas. It’s just off-dry with a round texture and juicy fruit flavors beautifully balanced by a bright seam of acidity. My note: Ripe tree fruit on the nose with floral and quince notes to follow. A well-delineated wine that offers both refreshment and hedonistic pleasure. Food matches: Asian noodle dishes, liver pate, fried camembert with blueberry sauce, Mediteranean tilapia, mushroom ravioli.

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:

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review: Pear and jonagold apple, stonefruit, and a hint of tropical fruit keep this wine exciting. Not a heck of a lot of acid here, better to drink on its own or even with soft cheese as a complement, rather than a contrast. 88 Points. (ottawawinejournal.com)
