Pretty, pristine, outstanding.
Founded in 2001 by winemaker Ted Kane, River Stone is a small estate winery located in Oliver BC. It's comprised of two estate vineyards focusing primarily on Bordeaux-varieties and aromatic whites; the tasting room was opened in 2010.
It's been a decade since I last tasted the River Stone wines and this Pinot Gris is outstanding. Skin contact has given it a lovely pink-ish hue. The nose is pretty and pristine, suggesting orange blossoms and honey, peach, pear and melon aromas. It's a juicy wine, the palate is just as pristine as the nose. It has a slick texture and pleasing weight and a good whisper of tannin from the skin contact, that adds complexity.
