Reviews and Ratings

Deborah Podurgiel - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

A return of a beautiful Pinot Gris from Upper Bench Estate Winery! Love the newly released 2021 Pinot Gris. Fragrant and intense with spring florals, white lilies, fresh Bartlett pear, passionfruit, guava and lemon custard aromas. Dry, medium-bodied, youthful and delicious with layers of white-fleshed peach, nectarine, passionfruit, ginger spice and lemon meringue, well-rounded with medium-plus acidity, finishing long and luxuriously smooth on the palate -- an incredible balance and marriage of flavours and textures on this 2021 Pinot Gris from UB. Chill and enjoy with smoked seabass or antipasto. Excellent value! Tasted February 2022.

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.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
