Deborah Podurgiel WSET IV Candidate rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

At first, I didn't think much of this Pinot Gris... until it started to open up and then it really grew on me. The other note on this wine is that it kept its nose and flavours well after two days of being refrigerated and, in fact, exhibited more minerality. It is a rare thing that a bottle of wine this good stays that long in my fridge ;) but I wanted to see what would happen to it over time.

Even elegant in the glass with a brilliant medium-pinkish gold hue, this PG is intense with aromas of fresh ripe pear, persimmon, ripe apricot, peach, lemon pudding with clean mineral notes throughout.

Dry, fruity fresh, medium-bodied, it surrounds the palate with medium-plus, fairly eye-winking acidity, silky with ripe pear, apple, spicy white pepper and Meyer lemon zesty freshness that just keeps on giving and going. Chill and enjoy with a Cobb salad or lemon sole en papillote. Overall, an excellent quality, fresh-for-summer PG. Tasted August 2024.

Grapes for this B.C. Pinot Gris were sourced from the Kozuk Family and Happy Valley Vineyards in Summerland and the wine was aged half in neutral French oak barrels and stainless-steel tanks.
