A lovely, lively, one might say vivacious, pinot gris/grigio here from La Stella, a leading project in the southern Okanagan to be sure. Balance is impeccable and, more importantly, flavour density and concentration outpace the expected in the price category. I like the mix of citrus, white, and yellow-fleshed orchard fruit flavours. Lovely wine; drink now or hold 1-3 years. Value Rating: 5/5.
