Poplar Grove Winery Cascadia Pinot Gris 2024

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Another beautiful wine stemming from a partnership with vineyard owners in Washington State, in order to source grapes to produce wines for the 2024 vintage after a harsh winter and frosts. This Pinot Gris stays true to everything Poplar Grove stands for, flavouful, crisp and clean, with beautiful balance. Aromas of lemon, lime pith, and white peach, along with hints of wet stone. Medium bodied, this wine shows a balance of crisp texture, with rounded softer notes, showing ripe citrus and stone fruit flavours, and more minerality on the finish. Enjoy with any white fish or shellfish dishes.

This medium bodied Pinot Gris has presence and gives delight. It’s the pleasing doses like lemon and lime and sighs of fresh stone fruit. It’s the feeling of creamy texture and a lively acidity that refreshes. It’s the delicious finish that’s in no rush to head to the exits. It’s the elegant style. It’s everything all at once. Enjoy.

The 2024 Cascadia Series is fruit sourced from McKinley Springs and Coyote Canyon Vineyards in Washington State’s Horse Heaven Hills AVA (American Viticultural Area) and the Airport Ranches Vineyard in that State’s Yakima Valley AVA. However, fermentation to bottling, aging, and packaging—happened in British Columbia. It is an endearing story of growers and winemakers helping each other through challenging times.
