Purple Palate

Winemaker Rob Gibson has made a name for himself through his Merlot and Shiraz, but just quietly, I reckon he's a bit of dab hand when it comes to Pinot Gris too. This one is nutty and spicy with brown pears and little bit of canned lychees in syrup. The mineral spine is impressive and the acidity is spot on. There's some baking spice and almonds on a sweetish finish that is tempered by notes of citrus and slate. Balanced and structured, this versatile wine should have many fans. -JP
