Laughing Stock Pinot Pinot 2005

Who made it: Laughing Stock Vineyards
What varietal(s): 66% Pinot Gris, 33% Pinot Blanc, 1% ?
Where: Naramata Bench (Okanagan), BC
Why drink it: Because it’s good
Extra, extra: $22, 13.2%, screw cap

This lemony gold wine has fruit, floral and vanilla oak on the nose. Fruit and vanilla spice and toast are on the palate, along with lemon and a hint of stone fruit (apricot, peach). Smooth, creamy mouth feel, zippy acidity and a medium-long finish helps make this wine good with food or without.

Laughing Stock wines go fast (this one’s sold out), so either visit the winery or check out private wine shops. This wine was from their Small Cap program, which means only a very small amount was made (150 cases) and the wines are only available from the winery, either to pick up in person or to be ordered online and shipped.
Cheers!
