Paula Bernardino rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Discovered this great tasting Pinot Gris at CRUSH Wine Bar in Toronto. Nice light gold colour. I paired it with a seafood platter and it went very well with the crab and the lobster.
A poster-child for Prince Edward County whites -- minerality, crisp acidity, purity of fruit and finesse. Sourced entirely from Hillier, PEC; a controlled, cool fermentation entirely in stainless steel allows for viewing the fruit unadorned - a vessel for the terroir. The perfect tension between slatey wet stones and mouth-watering lemon drop/pear flavours speaks to the attributes of vintage and place.
