The fruit character is a bit un-polished - showing a variety of fruit ripeness and becoming slightly awkward on the finish (the fruit seems disjointed and a bit like there's millerandage).
I blinded this as a Southern Rhone GSM. Seems a bit ripe and acid-deficient for Crozes-Hermitage.

W-S Friday Tasting - Gaillard and a NZ Pinot Gris (Auckland, NZ): (blind)
Medium ruby color.
Earthy dark fruit, with a hint of Brett. Some red fruit as well. Hint of pepper.
Dry, medium body, medium plus alcohol, medium acid, medium tannins.
