Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This is a gorgeous expression of a Pinot Gris from the award winning Gray Monk Estate Winery, in the breathtaking Okanagan Valley in BC. Interesting fact: the original proprietors George and Trudy Heiss owned and operated the winery for over three decades. George was originally from Austria and Trudy from Hungary. "In Austria and Hungary the Pinot Gris grape is called "Grauar Monch," thus the translation to Gray Monk". After the lovely couple retired in 2017, Andrew Peller Limited acquired the winery and continue to build upon the great work of the Heiss family creating lovely wines, enjoyed by so many.

In the glass: Aromas of citrus fruit and dried apricots with lingering flavors of lemon, grapefruit and green apple. This wine is delightfully refreshing with a velvety mouthfeel and a medium long finish. A great wine to enjoy on the deck with a simple charcuterie and great company.

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.
