Steely yellow green; melon and lime pith, struck match; crisp and less residual than other Pinot Gris from the NW, clean finish, melon and lime, lighter bodied; good.
USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley
Light reddish plum; sweet cherry and roses, hints at Cherry Cola on the nose but the palate definitely has it, sweet, friendly and tasty; very typical RRV Pinot Noir.
Very dark purple with magenta rim; plummy, dark berry, spicy, vanilla, clove, cinnamon; plush mouthfeel, lots of berry, lingering; strong oak character but I can see how this would be appealing.
Dark garnet with lighter garnet rim; green pepper, tobacco, red currant, plum, raspberry; softer on palate, sweet fruit underpinned by cedary quality, lighter and easy drinking, finishes with lots of oak spice.
