Add another year and this just keeps getting better. I found it at the State Liquor Store. Nose of citrus and vanillla but the age has added a palate note of creme brule to the main citrus taste. Really makes a nice package. Nice long finish. Wife and daughter loved it. Going back tomorrow to buy all they have. $20.00.

A really great RRV Pinot Gris. Great nose, big citrus and pear in mouth. Hints of pineapple on the nose. Great balance, nice acidity. Long finish that makes the mouth water. And want more....

Realized after the fact that this was tasting note number 5000 for me. Cheers! 13.1% ABV. Pale straw colored in the glass. Reticent nose initially with light orange-citrus and pear/apple fruit. Brighter citrus and pear flavors on the palate. Medium-light bodied. Clean, well balanced. Chalky minerals. Somewhat delicate. I enjoyed this more on this occasion than I did at the winery last June.

13.1% alcohol. I like how this wine has gone with another year on it. A light, crisp, and refreshing white that has a really elegant structure about it but an assertive fruit and interesting complexity. This has always been my favorite Inman Family PG, and it will actually be interesting to see how it goes in bottle for a little while longer. A-

13.1% alcohol. Just like the first bottle. I'm impressed with the concentration that goes with the refreshing quality of it. There was a really great stone fruit quality about this wine in 2006. Worth drinking any day.

13.1% alcohol. Delightful, as always. Each year, I think the new vintage is even better than the last. This reminds me a lot of the luscious 2006 when it was young. Very pale color, hinting at yellow and green. Fragrant bouquet, which you might mistake for Chardonnay if it weren't for the more intense mineral bent and slightly tart hint to the nose. Lively and refreshing in the mouth, packed with a juicy, citrus-laced fruit, excellent acidity, and a very fine finish. One of my favorite summer wines every year.

More weight than prior vintages. This wine is perfect for drinking in hot weather. Color was more straw than green. Ctirus on the nose with some pear. A bit of zest and acid in the mouth with a nice finish. In short, an outstanding bottle of wine. It will be hard not to drink all 6 early this summer.

This lacked zing and was getting a little flabby. Still drinkable but past its prime.

Crisp notes of guava, citrus, and crushed shells. Fresh and slightly green on the palate.

Great everyday "summer time" drinker. Citrus, just a bit of acidity. Great to drink on the terrace while the sun goes down, before the meal is served!
