Tasting Notes: The grapes used in the Pinot Gris were selected from vineyards in the northern Okanagan Valley. The grapes were picked at over 22 Brix. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation in order to retain maximum freshness. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks. John Schreiner says, "The wine shows a delicate bronze blush in the glass. It has aromas of fine herbs, citrus and citrus peel. On the palate, the wine has a luscious texture with flavours of pear, apple and white peach. The wine is well balanced, with the residual sweetness plumping up the fruit in the classic Gray Monk style. 90 points." Whether we are heading into Spring or "fools" Spring, one thing is for sure. I'm ready to sit on the deck in my shorts and flip flops with a nice chilled white wine.

Tasting Notes: Nero Di Troia (Uva Di Troia) is an ancient, little known grape variety grown in Puglia (heel of Italy’s boot) and almost nowhere else. Traditionally a blending grape used to give a bit of oomph to wines made from grapes such as Montepulciano and Sangiovese, it is now more and more being vinified on its own. Eye: deep ruby red with violet magenta rim. Nose: red plums, Amarilla cherries, raspberries, notes of dry sage, wintergreen. Palate: medium full body, with good depth. Plums, dried dates, cherries confirmed, dark chocolate on the back. Fine tannins, medium length finish. Pair with pork, roast fowl, ham and pineapple pizza (I don't care what you say: it works!), hard cheeses, caccio e pepe. Drink now or within the next 2 years. A great value!!

Price: $$19.49 750 ml.

Tasting Notes: The Pinot Noir grapes for Crimson are produced from 5-20 year old Martinborough vines in Lismore, Waiora and Walnut Ridge blocks. The 2017 vintage was cooler than average, delivering wines of complexity and vibrant acid structure. This old world, earthy Pinot Noir has an enticing nose of mulberry and bramble fruits complemented by spicy notes of tamarind paste and crushed sumac berry. The palate is long and textural with a thread of fine tannins. Delicate fruit flavours are more expressive the longer this wine is left to breath, at least an hour. Paired very well with duck confit.

Price: $47.49
