Community Tasting Notes (average 84.7 pts. and median of 84 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by clintkristen on 3/4/2013 & rated 92 points: Excellent Wine Overall. Crisp, fruit forward approach with prevalent citrus. Light finish with moderate acidity. Would make an excellent wine in warner weather or with light foods. (3292 views)
 Tasted by prettydeceextrap on 7/8/2012 & rated 86 points: (B) Tons more character than my last two bottles. Nice plump fruit, brown sugar, and wheat elements. Finishes very smooth, with a hint of butter. (3687 views)
 Tasted by Rich.Herbs on 4/2/2012 & rated 84 points: Hendry manages to give more body than most to his Pinot Gris, along with some fruit and a decent finish. Could use a bit more acid to round it off. More of a wine to sip on a hot day. (3855 views)
 Tasted by Tudz Drkl on 1/1/2012 & rated 83 points: Drinkable wine with some fruitiness on the front but it seemed to lack the acidity to provide balance, provide length and display the fruitiness. (4076 views)
 Tasted by prettydeceextrap on 8/15/2011 & rated 82 points: (B-) (4414 views)
 Tasted by flying_wineau on 3/21/2011 & rated 83 points: Light bodied apple and pear with a dusty, mineral finish. It's a gris. (1834 views)
 Tasted by bjecjohnson on 1/11/2011 & rated 86 points: SMELL: Pear, sour green apple jolly rancher
TASTE: Lots of acid, strong initial attack, absent mid palate and a strong, long finish. High amount of heat. Coats the back of the mouth. (2207 views)
 Tasted by scott davis on 11/12/2010 & rated 87 points: Light golden color with aromas of flowers and honeysuckle. The palate shows light but pleasing flavors of creamy citrus and green apple fruit, which are crisp on the finish. (1872 views)

Pinot Gris

From Pinot Gris Wikipedia entry:
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.

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
