Craig Haynes rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Plenty of lovely freshness is happening in the Wayne Gretzky 2019 Okanagan Valley Pinot Grigio. Unoaked, this wine showcases fruity aromas and flavours from pour to finish. Its signature scents – spicey stone fruit + honey dew melon – are vivid, enticing and laced with low key crushed salt character. On the palate, there is an appealing assortment of citrus and pear flavours at centre stage, drawing support from some tingly texture and extroverted acidity. If this wine was a person, it would beeline to the nearest patio in summer and the closest après ski party in winter in order to live in the moment. Its ready to be chilled and opened.

A bright and refreshing Pinot Grigio from Wayne Gretzky estates in the Okanagan Valley. Elements of sliced apple, herbs and freshly cut pineapple. Flavours show nuances of pear skin, citrus zest and lingering minerals. Nicely balanced acidity with fresh herbal notes that carry through into the light bodied finish. Try this with chicken tarragon or a thin crust pesto and provolone pizza. Enjoy! -tasted November 2021
Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

On the nose, aromas of pear, subtle honeydew, delicate white flower with saline and mineral notes. On the palate, light and dry with balanced acidity and notes of lemon, grapefruit, with the mineral and saline qualities seeping through. Pair with herb crusted fish or tempura fried green vegetables.

Tasted Nov 2021.

Lively Pinot Grigio from the Wayne Gretzky Estates, located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley, shows aromas of yellow apple, apricot, lime, honey, ginger and crushed almond. The 2019 vintage delivers a lovely mix of sweet and salty, and a refreshing finish. Palate: yellow apple, pineapple, citrus zest, honeysuckle and coconut. Enjoy!
Colin McKone rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Pale gold in colour with aromas of  peach,  pear, lemon and minerality.   It is light bodied with mouthwatering acidity and has flavours of lemon and melon with a medium lemon zest finish.   This will pair well with seafood and white meats.  Tasted on June 12, 2021.
Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lovely and refreshing Pinot Grigio with just a hint of west coast sunshine! Aromas of lemon-lime, with hints of peach and some saline minerality. Light bodied, fresh and clean on the palate, with some vibrant, mouthwatering citrus, and more mineral, stony hints. Finish is clean and crisp. Enjoy as a patio sipper or with any light seafood dishes.
