What a great buy. Spicy apricot nose with a touch of camphor. Medium rich mouth feel. Long finish. Sows best at about 65F. Excellent QPR. (1061 views) | | | Tasted by juffer on 10/17/2014 & rated 91 points: Excellent. Like a light refreshing version of an Alsatian pinot gris. Spicy peachy nose, moderate density in the mid palate, bone dry finish with good acidity. But based on my memory of the 2010, the 2009 has a bit less acidity and is a bit rounder. So I think I prefer the 2010 based on memory. But I'll need to do a side by side comparison sometime to confirm. (1187 views) | | | Tasted by avp on 7/17/2012: A rather expressive and intense nose for the variety. Honeyed florality, melon to banana fruit, sage and hand lotion aroma.
Dry and greasy palate with balanced acidity, some almondy roudness andnotes of banana, lemon rind and flowers. Good length.
Rather nice PG. Very approachable. (1726 views) |

Wines made from the Pinot gris vary greatly and are dependent on the region and wine making style they are from. Alsatian Pinot gris are medium to full bodied wines with a rich, somewhat floral bouquet. They tend to be spicy in comparisons with other Pinot gris. While most Pinot gris are meant to be consumed early, Alsatian Pinot gris can age well. German Pinot gris are more full-bodied with a balance of acidity and slight sweetness. In Oregon the wines are medium bodied with a yellow to copper-pink color and aromas of pear, apple, and/or melon. In California, the Pinot gris are more light bodied with a crisp, refreshing taste with some pepper and arugula notes. The Pinot grigio style of Italy is a light-bodied, often lean wine that is light in color with sometimes spritzy flavors that can be crisp and acidic. Although this wine can be very sweet, it will begin to lose its acidity when it is nearly ripe.
Pinot gris is considered an "early to market wine" that can be bottled and out on the market within 4–12 weeks after fermentation.
