Pinot Gris Varietal/Style: Pinot Gris  Origin: Vancouver Island  Vintage: 1998  Winemaker: Roger Dosman  Rating: 11/20  Retail Price: $12

Tasting Notes: This rosé-style Pinot Gris offers a glowing salmon color and a dry, fresh style. The nose hints at the rose petal aromas of a fine Provençal rosé, however the wine's balance lacks crisp acidity. Nonetheless, this Canadian creation is about as close to the South of France as you can get without leaving North America.
