The Organized Crime Pinot Gris 2024 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

The Organized Crime Beamsville Bench Ontario Pinot Gris is a charming, medium-bodied white from one of the Niagara Peninsula's most distinctive boutique estates, delivering aromas of honeyed golden apple, ripe Bosc pear, dried apricot, and a gentle lift of white blossom from its south-facing hillside vines. It is dry and elegantly textured, with a soft, rounded mid-palate and refreshing cool-climate acidity that gives it real poise and length. Winemaker Greg Yemen, who uniquely divides his time between the vineyard and the cellar alongside owners Ania de Duleba and Edward Zaski, crafted this from 100% estate-grown fruit on the acclaimed Beamsville Bench. The winery's wonderfully eccentric name comes from a genuine local incident in the early-to-mid twentieth century, when one feuding Mennonite congregation broke into a rival church and hurled a disputed pipe organ down an embankment, a piece of Niagara history that is hard to forget. Notably, The Organized Crime was named one of the Top 10 Small Wineries in Canada at the 2023 WineAlign National Wine Awards, the country's largest annual wine competition. Serve it well chilled alongside a creamy chicken and mushroom risotto, where its fruit-forward warmth plays beautifully against the earthiness of the dish, or with a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel for a relaxed weekend brunch pairing. Enjoy it over the next one to two years.

Pinot Gris food pairings: creamy chicken and mushroom risotto, smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, roasted pork tenderloin with apple and thyme.
