This is an ok Pinot Gris but lacks the crazy acid and is a bit too "sweet" for me. No there is no residual sugar, but the sweet fruit annoys me. The nose is ripe with honey. honeysuckle, almond, dirty earth, loam, and ripe white white fruit. Too sweet for me, with ripe summer fruit, and rich fig. Nice enough, but stick with the 14 or 13 Dalton PG. The mineral is its saving grace.
I will admit that over time, the wine's sweetness calms down, but when it does it tastes like a complex version of the blue bottle - which is not saying much.
