Three Vineyard Estate Grown Pinot Gris
Very flavorful and good typicity but the phenolic bitterness is borderline off-putting

Oct 15th, 2017Clear pale yellow. Notes of melon, white peaches and a little bit of lemon on the nose. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) and medium bodied. A touch rich and sweet with meyer lemons, peaches and a touch of minerality. Medium to medium plus bodied. Drink till 2020.

May 10th, 2014This 2012 vintage Pinot Gris has me enchanted. Under ripe pears, white flowers and a very subtle honey, minerals and a flinty touch. As it comes closer to room temp. I find it showing a much more complex nose. The body shows a nice orange rind, white flowers, honey suckle showing through to the finish. 15% alcohol!
