  Thought this bottle got consumed and unearthed it while looking for something else.
  
  Nose of lemon zest and funky melon. A very thick and creamy mouthfeel with bright acidity and a powerful palate. The RS in the wine helps carry it from start to finish. Palate of melons, lemons, limestone, a bit of licorice, and some white flowers. Long finish that is very creamy with lots of white flower elements, lemon pith, and melons.
  
  If this was bone dry, I don't think I would like it. It really needed that extra bit of sweetness to balance it out.

  No formal notes.
  
  Pinot gris made in the more traditional style. Fairly rounded and opulent for the region with flavors of muskmelon and candied lemon. Still kicking at seven years-old. Tasty stuff that drained quickly.
