Perhaps shows as much Marlborough as it does Pinot Gris. If not for the pungency I might think Chenin, as it combines a sharp (gooseberry which keys NZ), floral and mineral (which keys Loire) nose with a broad, slightly flabby, almost sweet palate. Overall quite nice and imminentently drinkable. I don't know that I would buy it over, say, Trimbach Reserve Pinot Gris, but I certainly enjoy it and would recommend it.

(HUIA PINOT GRIS) #4; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-very clear & light; NOSE-tight; little goosenberry & lime; TASTE-gorgeous mouthfeel, nice crispness, clove aspect, nice sense of richness, little less acidic than I'd like; a little flabby w/ fake subtle pineapple on the finish, little Hay aspect; GV-87

The Blind Drunks monthly tasting (Bistro Thai, Geneva, Illinois): Not much in teh way of aromatics, except a subtle floral note. Apple nuances on the palate. Ho-hum.
