Thistle Ridge 201 Pinot Gris (Block 2)

Variety: Pinot Gris
Region: Waipara, NZ
Vintage: 2012
Closure: Screwtop
Colour: Almost green/grey
Alcohol: 13.0%
Bouquet: White flowers and ripe pears
Flavour: What sticks out is the residual sugar which is high and a surprise as there is no indication on the label that this is the case. The flavour is ripe pear flavours with good length. A little gluggy and sweet for my taste.
Points: 84 (3+8+10+6+7+50)
Notes: Rather too sweet for my taste but there is always someone at a dinner party who appreciates this style. $16 ~ 288 Kc.
