Greywacke Marlborough Pinot Gris 2023

The 2023 Pinot Gris is rich with flavor and texture, and I love it for that. There are notes of white pepper, pineapple husk, cracker biscuit, crushed shells, sourdough crust and lemon barley. This is a ripe, complex wine with impact and length, and if you ask winemaker Kevin Judd, he’ll tell you (probably show you, if you ask nicely) that Pinot Gris ages gracefully too. Drink date: 2024-2033. Score – 93. (Erin Larkin, robertparker.com, Dec. 19, 2024)
