WinExpert Private Reserve 30 Bottle Yakima Valley Pinot Gris
Washington State’s Yakima Valley is one of North America’s finest cool-climate wine regions — producing Pinot Gris with exceptional fruit intensity and a fuller body than its European counterparts. This WinExpert Private Reserve kit delivers exactly that: a versatile, food-friendly white with crisp green apple, ripe honeydew melon, and lemon zest — fuller-bodied and more flavourful than a typical Pinot Grigio, with that distinctive North American richness.
