Elk Cove Vineyards Willamette Valley Pinot Gris 2014 $33 ★★★★★Elk Cove Willamette Valley Pinot Gris

Hands down this one of the best American pinot gris I’ve tried.  Ok, so it’s the only American pinot gris I’ve ever tried, BUT it’s darn gorgeous.  Sourced from Oregon’s Willamette Valley, it’s exceptionally clean and precise and boasts quince and nashi notes alongside a mineral-edged, beautifully structured acid spine.  Superb length of flavour also makes this a must-sip for anyone after great gris.  To find stockists near you email amanda.ross@kono.co.nz
