Charming and easy to drink but with some saline complexity. Mineral nose, same on the palate it with all sorts of white nectarine and golden delicious goodness.

The 2018 Loveblock Pinot Gris is a Marlborough wine, with the grapes sourced entirely from the organic Woolshed estate vineyard. It’s dry and aromatic and completely a wine with which to fall in love. Alcohol hits 13% abv and the retail price hits $23. The mineral-driven nose suggests a wet driveway, apples and limes, with slightly savory edge. There are great minerals on the palate, too, and an easy acidity leading to a great savory finish

I’ve never understood why New Zealand’s aromatic wines haven’t amassed more attention - they’re Pinot Gris wines are consistently some of my favorites outside of Alsace. Loveblock is Erica and Kim Crawford's present project, after selling the popular Kim Crawford label. While still 5 g/l residual sugar, Loveblock's Pinot Gris captivates with its spice and savory flavors - jasmine, white rose, peach skin and white pepper. Beaming with aroma, on the palate the wine finds a more taut precision. A delicious challenge to Sauvignon Blanc's dominance of the Marlborough landscape.

Heartiest Pinot Gris I can remember having. Definitely get notes of peach. It doesn't feel too acidic and I like that the flavor bursts halfway through the gulp with just enough lingering.

Tasted in 2014: Pinot Gris has a rep as the boring drink of late 1990s sorority sisters. This defies that and more with beautiful yellow flower aromas lifted by notes of citrus rinds, marzipan, and fresh cream.
