LIght and simple, off-dry, very tastey with a turkey dinner with gravey. I bought a second one.

Tasted January 2015. Big flavour but not as sweet as a Cali Zinf. Lamb, steak, burgers. This has lots of staying power and my second bottle will be tasted in 2016+. This might be a 90 at that point.

Acceptable however this is not going to be a repeat buy. Drink up with grilled burgers.

Very light body pinot gris. Good sipper, I think most food would over power this.

2009 was in my cellar for a year, had it with a steak. Impressive, more polised than I remember. Nice wine for $13, wish I had another.

This was far better than I expected from the reviews. Very dry with integrated wood and cherry flavours and various herbs on the nose. Loved it with pasta in a red sauce with meat and wild mushrooms. I will cellar the second bottle for a bit longer yet, it has legs.

I think the critics are a bit harsh on this one. Easy drinking, butterscotch and tropical fruit. A bit "commercial" maybe but we enjoyed it. Bought three more on sale.

I really liked this actually. Full-on blueberry and other dark fruit. Recommended with lamb meatloaf or roast beef. Pretty close to a 90 point wine for me.
