From the Waipara Valley just north of Christchurch, this medium-gold-hued Pinot Gris is a solid example of a variety and style New Zealand increasing excels at. The nose is perfumed and honeyed with notes of ripe apples, pears and white-flower blossoms. The mouthfeel is viscous, less about the fruit and more about the texture, but kept fresh by a lifted line of acidity. A slightly bitter peach-pit note appears at the finish but should all but disappear when paired with food. Christina Pickard

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
