The 2006 Vin Santo Pinot Gris: just 550 half-bottles that suggest on the rare occasions the weather allows, Gibbston can make lovely sweet wine. With around 60-70 grams per liter residual sugar, there is great purity and vibrant acidity in the unctuous, mandarin and quince flavored gem that should last 10-15 years.In a half-built woolshed with the wind howling outside, I tasted Grant Taylor's boutique wines under the Valli label. Having worked in Napa, Grant was head winemaker at Gibbston Valley Wines for 13 years before founding his own label after purchasing 6.5 hectares of vine in Gibbston. His wines are suffused with personality and charm and Grant obviously has an acute understanding of what makes great Pinot Noir. His are generally made with 25% whole bunches and matured in 30-40% new oak. I felt that Valli's white wines lacked a little concentration. Importer: RO Imports LLC, New York, NY; tel.
