This may be the best Pinot Gris I've ever tasted. I can't even think of any that come close... Deiss, Jermann? Maybe if Bob Stuckey stepped it up?

By the color you'd think it was Rose of Cabernet. But no... It's Gris... A ringer for plousard on sight but it even smells of Jura. I don't like Gris that much bit this shit is bombastic for wine geeks.

Damn! This is blossoming very nicely. Strong floral and mineral components.

Tart and bright with good body and a crisp finish. More like a light red than a rose.

Is it an orange wine? Is it a concentrated rose? Interesting drink. Enjoyed this. Discussion ensued.
