Honey, melon, and stone on the nose. Smooth, richly fruited but finishes dry with impressively snappy acidity. Great bottle development with plenty of years ahead of it. 14.5% alc.

Not your uncle’s Pinot Grigio. Full bodied and luscious with ripe orchard fruit, minerals, and enough structure to keep evolving in the cellar. This was a fun left field bottle to share with wine geeks at thanksgiving. $40

More info: 25 year old vines in heavy clay soil. Pluris vineyard is steep with only one row of vines per terrace for maximum exposure.
