Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 90.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 9 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Puteljen! on 9/1/2014 & rated 93 points: Fully mature. Broad, fatty profile with tropical fruit, butter, nuts and winter apples, but still lots of energy. Really lovely stuff. Best bottle so far. (1657 views)
 Tasted by Rieslingfan on 7/26/2013 flawed bottle: cork crumbled - wine dead (1928 views)
 Tasted by Puteljen! on 8/10/2012 & rated 90 points: Very nice, mature pinot gris. Went very well with a mango sallad and scallops. (2391 views)
 Tasted by vinolovers on 3/10/2012 & rated 89 points: The coloring was of a medium golden, indicating maturity. The nose gave off aromas of roses and petrol, indicative more of a gewurz or riesling. The taste was a bit sweet on the tip of the tongue but mellow farther back. Flavor profile included the floral notes, petrol, honey, vanilla and a hint of slate. It handled the Keralian fish curry quite well! (2270 views)
 Tasted by Spencer on 8/18/2005 & rated 90 points: Excellent Alsacian pinot gris. Normally I prefer a drier style, but this one had just the right amount of sweetness. Beautiful nose with mineral, stone fruit, beehive, and just a hint of grassiness. Very well-balanced on the palate, with a surprisingly long and complex finish. (3651 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.
