Brassy, deepish gold.
Soft, elegant, yet rich nose, with peach and beurre noisette and a touch of pear.
Delicious attack: rich, and a certainly feeling fairly sweet. Auslese level of sweetness in German terms. But very, very elegant. Deep and rich and full, with enormous length after. Lovely balance. Really delicious. (471 views) | | | Tasted by andrewstevenson.com on 5/23/2005 & rated 91 points: A mid-, slightly oxidised looking brassy gold. Fairly soft, quite elegant pinot gris nose, laden with tropical fruit with hints of coriander and cumin. Clean, fresh attack. Really spicy immediately after. Then a full richness with quite a bit of sweetness and fat. But well-balanced and not at all overdone. Powerful stuff, all the same. Very Good Indeed. (1353 views) |

U.S. Importer (Addt'l Info)Pinot GrisFrom 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.
