2021 Goodfellow Family Cellars Pinot Gris Whistling Ridge VineyardRibbon Ridge more |
1/1/2024 - Frank Murray III wrote: NRAnnual NYE Dinner and Champagne (My House): Enjoyed this, and it was a good palate calibrator given all the Champagnes we arrayed with it. Seemed like it had a pear signature, playing alongside a little petrol/diesel. Juicy with good acid. |

7/17/2010 - Frank Murray III wrote: NRDinner and Wine (My House): Been open for several days, kept cold. Still drinks fresh. Like last time, same cantaloupe flesh color. Melon, tangerine, bit of glycerine and hint of oily texture. Doesn't have a lot of zip, more about deeper flavor and weight. |

7/25/2009 - Frank Murray III wrote: NRYou know, with the peach color, I want to say cantaloupe in the wine...is it cognitive suggestion? If the wine was more akin to a standard p.g., with the more traditional white color, would I still offer this note? Ahh, the beauty of wine. Melon, tropical note and acidity and I again offer the labeled alcohol of 12.3%. Good again. |

6/7/2009 - Frank Murray III wrote: NR12.3% alcohol. Golden peach in color, with orange blossom notes on the bouquet. A plush palate full of cantaloupe, honeydew melon, kiwi and a bright acidic finish. Despite some of the perceived weight, the acidity keeps the wine lively. |

2004 Ancien Pinot Gris Sangiacomo VineyardSonoma Coast more |
9/22/2005 - Frank Murray III wrote: NRI had to add this to CellarTracker so not sure how much is out there. I attended a trade event recently and tasted a # of Pinot Gris (loved the new one from King Estate in Oregon as well as the Byron) so was happy to buy a bottle of this Ancien. I admit, I'm not a white wine drinker but Pinot Gris grabs me. The aromatics lift out of the glass and this one does, as well. I smell honey, peach pit and lime, as well as some brown spice of some kind. The wine is medium to full body with a nice viscosity and weight. The some same lemony/peach notes are in the mouth with some nice spicyness to the finish. Even more, this is another wine that I have discovered that goes easy on the oak, as I can't say I find a lot lurking here and the alcohol at 14% is nicely integrated. Overall, a nice wine and it has the Mrs. Murray seal of approval. |
