Not my favorite. Alcoholic and disjointed with some white pear and lanolin. Drunk from plastic cups, so not ideal conditions. Overall, not a favorite because of the heat.

A complex style that blends elements of Italy, Alsace and California, this offers an intricate, almost delicate mix of fruit and mineral flavors, backed up by supple acidity. Beginning with peach, pear and white flower aromas, this turns towards chalky minerality on the nose, fleshing out on the medium bodied palate with pear, lemon and mineral flavors that linger gently.

Very expressive pinot gris showing peach and wet stone on the nose. Great acidity provides lift for the rich mouthfeel with additional notes of citrus and apple.

Celebrating the end of my cold with one of Kathleen's gorgeous wines. Bless her for still making (a high quality) Pinot Gris, when so many RRV producers sadly stopped, so I look to OR instead. Aromatic, citrus nose. Guava, melon, peach, lush fruit in mouth. (Don't drink it over chilled, hello its not Santa Margarita.) Excellent mouth feel, texture. Pleasant lingering acidity.

Very tasty with a core of ripe apple and white fruited flavours and gentle vanilla and floral accents. Quite rich and velvety textured with plenty of depth, nice acidity keeping it fresh and good length. Really nice.
