Really disagree with the previous raters. This is a lovely wine vinified in more of an Alsatian style. I'd characterize it as dry with a hint of sweetness that rounds out the flavor and mouthfeel and not at all "flabby". Agree on the floral and stone fruit notes but also get some citrus on both the nose and palate. For the price, I think it's a great value. The is a very good wine.

FLX; 9/18/2022-9/26/2022: Smells like a flower shop and adds some papaya and lime. No hard edges on the palate, which sails along to an uncomplicated, if watery, finish. Very drinkable.

Fingerlakes wine tasting with Yagil Barel; 5/28/2022-5/31/2022 (Cayuga, Seneca, Keuka Lakes): Watery yellow. Nose soars with white peach, floral... this is really *very* aromatic. A touch sweet, with a simple mouthfeel, long finish hints at wet rock. I like pinot gris either drier than this or more overtly sweet, but also with a stronger mineral support... to me this wine lives in between and is a bit soft and flabby.

BTG at LaGuardia. Intensely floral with mostly tropical notes, yet dry and bright on the finish. Fun and easy.
