From vines planted in 1993, Cristom’s 2018 Estate Pinot Gris is limpid sunbeam yellow, with lilting aromas of Asian pear, comice apple, granulated honey, pea tendril, and wet shell. In the mouth, there’s weight and flesh from full-malolactic fermentation combined with six months aging on fine lees—a taught vein of acidity wells up from the core, adding lift and elegance as it expands across the palate, terminating in pomace stone and lemon pith. 14.0% | Sample

Lean style, citrussy, somewhat unfulfilling, a bit thin.
