WTN: Kettle Valley

[Jenise]

2021 Kettle Valley Pinot Gris Okanagan Valley
A beautiful, vivid salmon-colored skin-contact pinot gris resulting from a three day cold soak after crush. A mixture of barrel and stainless steel fermentation resulted in a a dry, luxuriously textured wine with its pinot noir ancestry evident. Crazy good. Ordered in a restaurant last night and liked so much I bought a bottle at list price to bring home.

Agree..excellent. Others to look out for include Wild Goose, Fern Walk.

PG is one of the few white grapes where I actually like some skin contact.

I've had excellent versions from Kelley Fox and Vincent, but this is perhaps my favorite of all so far. Least favorite: Chateau Ste Michelle which had residual sugar.

Speaking of CSM, David, I got a case of their latest dry reisling yesterday for $66 delivered, including tax.
