Appearance- Pale lemon Nose- medium intensity, lemon, apple, ripe pear, peach, wet stone. Youthful. Palate- off dry, medium acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, flavor intensity medium plus, flavor characteristics of lemon, apple, ripe pear, peach and wet stone with a long finish.
Quality is outstanding due to balance, length, intensity and complexity. Readiness to drink is: can drink now and suitable to age.

Pale gold color due to Pinot Gris skins. Light on aromatics yet rich on palate flavor. Red apple, yellow pear, melon, orange blossom, jasmine, backed by a drying, chalky finish with a zing of minerality. True to variety there is a slight honeyed viscosity to the mouthfeel.

Medium acidity and unripe stone fruit. Medium alcohol with a floral note on the nose. (Not quite honeysuckle, but in that direction). For the price it’s nice.

Costco. Mild stone fruit nectarine nose. Sparkling pale yellow. Medium body dry nectarine middle and dry acid finish. Not as nice as prior vintages. 6/10.

Grabbed the last 2 bottles at my local Costco as I prefer OR PG over Italian, and $12 was a deal. Very pale, nearly colorless, with immediate white peach and finishing with a hint of citrus and juicy acidity.

Picked up a bottle after seeing this hit a year-end best list, one of the better bottles of Pinot Gris I've tried in recent memory. Orchard and stone fruit is there but there's a real tropical quality to the wine that I enjoyed. Canned Mandarin orange too. Nice weight. Dry, solid acidity, but just enough sweetness.
Agree with the reviewer below, no reason to hold on to the end of the 2023 drinking window to see what might develop. Drink now.

Just okay for me. Drank over two nights; second night wine seemed flat and fairly flavorless. First day pleasant quaffer.

Agree w/R2-D2, solid quality PG, maybe not as complex for us but a nice juicy quaffable sip, easy pairing for many lighter dishes as well.

Most Pinot Gris is not memorable. This has a nice nose, smooth, texture, melon/pear flavors and a lengthy finish. Hoping to buy more.

Lot of tang with impressions of tangerine/ apple sweetness. Drinking w/o food- probably a mistake.
