Vintner's Reserve California Pinot Gris
California, USA
I normally stay away from their wines (no offense if you like them — they just aren’t for me) but I was in a wedding last weekend and someone handed me a glass of this. I have to say — it was yummy! Quite ripe but there was acidity.

Pale lemon in color with a green hue.
Fruity nose with citrus, lemons, grapefruits, grass, green apples, white pepper and minerals. Pretty much a sauvignon blanc nose.

Dry on the palate with limes, lemons, grapefruits, green apples, spices, light herbs and black pepper.
Medium plus on the finish with bitter almonds and spices.
This is an above-average Pinot Gris from California. Nicely balanced with mild complexity and refreshing acidity.

Pale straw in color with a golden hue.
On the nose grapefruits, limes, green apples, white pepper, spices and grass. Smells like a Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity, crisp and refreshing.
Dry on the palate with citrus, lemons, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, white pepper, spices and green vegetables.
Short finish with citrus and bitter almonds.
This is a nice California Pinot Gris. Nicely balanced and simple. Good by the pool, and with food too.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of Meats and cheeses. It paired really nicely with cheddar with horseradish cheese.

Perfect summer wine. Bright nose with a creamy, full body. Not your average Pinot Gris!

A clean and refreshing white that will set itself apart from the ever-popular KJ Chardonnay. Expect some pear and apple with a subtle mineral taste.

Citrusy and acidic. Great with rotissieried lemon and garlic chicken. It was a little too much to drink by itself
