Maybe Benessere's best effort yet for their excellent estate-grown Pinot Grigio (Gris). Clean and clear, aromas of tropicals and stone fruits, moves to the palate with pretty bright fruit, not a hint of off-flavors which can be so prevalent in this varietal, and a rich, but crisp end-palate with a medium-long and very pleasant finish. Shows what a PG can do in Carneros.
