Rouge de Gris Dundee Hills Pinot Gris 2015

9.3

Hard to find this one; my brother in Oregon snagged a bottle. Dedicated to Stanko Radikon and his son Sasa, who pioneered the extended skin contact production of “orange wines”. This is a red wine made with 100% Pinot Gris (Pinot Grigio). Purple red, yet very good clarity; reminds me of the look of cranberry juice, but a tad darker in hue. Spice, leather and cherry-prune notes in nose. Fruit leather, prune flavors, initially, moderate fine-grained skin tannin astringency, a floral-prune aftertaste that is most like a traditional Pinot Gris white wine. Later, vegetal (black olive?) flavors emerge. Mind-blowingly different. Took me a while to decide how much I liked it. I never anticipated an orange wine could be pushed to this extreme, especially with this varietal - boom! After 90 minutes, tannins smooth out and you get a soft fruity light red with subtle flavors. Fresh, complex, well-made and conceived — 6 years ago

Had a good talk w the Fossil & Fawn duo about their new crazy Ramato Pinot Gris, and we got talking about Stanko Radikon setting the gold standard for skin contact white wines! Nothing but admiration & affection for Radikon's beauties! — 9 years ago

Peach colored juice. Nose of watermelon and creamsicles. Hint of petrol...maybe goo gone? Silky fruity mouthfeel citrus, strawberry shortcake, minerals. Slightly oxidized and reduced. I like these Radikon whites at red temps. Skin contact, funky fresh old wine. RIP Stanko — 8 years ago

Just what the doctor ordered. Loved the slight reduction that came with each refill pour and seeing this wine transform in the glass & on the palette. This 2014 + Roulot power punch just further confirms that white wine rules the school.

@Luke Stanko dramatically different from 2010 Aligote opened Tuesday. A total 180 flip from the oxidation we tasted there — 7 years ago
