New Zealanders sometimes refer to their country as “Godzone,” meaning “God’s own country.” Maybe this helps us understand “Boyzone.” Maybe not. And this is not a pinot gris that finds itself in a quality “Gris-zone.” It stands well above the crowd of pinot gris and is characterized by luscious and complex flavours of ripe fruit, a slightly viscous and refreshing texture, and excellent balance. Score: 4.5 (Rod Phillips, rodphillipsonwine.com, May 21, 2009)
