Nice fruit driven bottle; some apricot notes on the nose along witha bit of spice. Light nose and body; missing the "oily" consistency I like in a PG. Pleasant to sip; can pair with light food.

Classic pinot gris on the nose and palate. Nice "oily" body; medium body and finish. Not quite as dry as some Alsace PG but not sweet at all; probably best described as slightly off dry where the fruit stands out. Very pleasant to sip; haven't tried it with food except cheese where it paired nicely with a mild gouda.

Honeydew melon, peach, and mango with grassy notes, but I am also happy to find some ginger, volcanic ash, and some minerals, which makes this pretty nice. Another CT reviewer talked about this wine having the Alsatian Pinot Gris “mustiness” (as opposed to Italian light and crisp Pinot Grigio) and, having just been to Alsace a week ago and tasted several Alsatian Pinot Gris there (and liking them very much), I have to agree. It has a proper thick, oily texture too. This can compete with similarly-priced version from Alsace. I’m impressed. Mostly dry, just .5% alcohol remaining.

Very nice PG; definitely pick up the distinctive flavor on both nose and palate; better as it warms up. Haven't tried with food but great to sip.
