Nice honeyed yellow apple characteristics on a rich nose. A touch of sweetness, but good acidity. Good fruit. A very solid, ripe, Oregeon style pinot gris.

Unoaked. Not really digging the nose. A weird corny thing going on. Not pleasant. None of that on the palate, which carries a high acidity, with lime and green apples. Not sure about this. 82-84
Nice spiney acidity. Which works well since the fruit is really ripe. This is very pleasant an enjoyable to drink, but doesn't push to that next level I was hoping for. 87-88
The nose of the night. Very perfumed. The fruit is almost candied, but there are those other PN flavors pushing into this wine that didn't make it into the Shea. Extremely ripe for Oregon, but it pulls it off without seeming hot. 89+
I can see why we do so well with this. Simple, but nice acidity keeps the sweetness in line and good fruit. This would be great as a light end to a big meal.
