This Pinot Gris hails from Hawks Bay in New Zealand, and is a good companion for the Sauvignon Blancs and Pinot Noirs which are usually associated from that down-under country. We sampled a bottle the other night with grilled salmon, and thought it quite nice.

The nose is flowery, with subtle scents of citrus and fruit in the background. The flavors are true to Pinot Grigio, and are a combination of stonefruit, apple, and a gentle hint of lemon zest, which adds crispness. The finish is pleasing and clean, and the alcohol content is 12.5%, with Norm's score being 88.

A good back porch sipper, and also an excellent companion for fish and fowl, I would recommend it as good choice for Lobster Bisque or Shrimp Gumbo.

score: 88
price : $12 - $15
