2010 Johan Vineyards Pinot Gris Drueskall 85 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley
(8/16/2012)
Tasted at 2012 Wine Blogger's Conference. Harder to grasp than the 09 (which I loved). Very aggressive and pungent on the nose with earthy sulfur notes along with muted baked fruit and earth on the palate. Fine and smooth in feel. Medium finish. This is certainly an interesting wine as was the 09, and I could have missed something here in the short time I had with it, but it didn't work for me like the '09.
