Certified organic, the 2009 vintage is a bone-dry wine, pale, with gentle, limey aromas. Subtle and restrained in its infancy, with good fruit sweetness and delicacy, and a slightly minerally streak, it should mature well; open mid-2010+. Score - 3.5 Stars (out of 5).

Babich is well known to Vintages customers, and fans of its Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc will be thrilled to discover this rich, ripe, tropical Pinot Gris. Most of the juice was fermented in stainless steel, but 40% was vinified in old oak. It has bountiful notes of lemon, pineapple, nectarine, pear, honeysuckle, and ginger spice. Lush, balanced, and ideal for seared scallops.
Dark ruby with purple hues and a pink rim. Aromas of dark berries and plum and boysenberries then dark cherry and scents of toasty oak with sweet vanilla, clove and smoke. Flavours repeat on the palate surrounded by a firm texture and acidity with a chalky mouthfeel. A fine mealy dry finish, youthful complexity and with flavours of toasty barrel, baking spices and dark berries. An excellent wine ready for drinking from late 2022 through 2028. Excellent. Score - 93. (Cameron Douglas, MS, camdouglasms.com, March 13, 2022)
