Inviting, with lilting sweet aromas of baked apple, white peach, lemon curd and spring flowers. On the palate the 2014 Raptor Ridge Pinot Gris is equally tender and round, held aloft by a delicate vein of acidity that provides just enough lift. This is a delicate, pretty Gris that reminds me of early spring. Medium length finish. 13.5% ABV | Sample

The nose is creamy with lots of tropical fruit notes. A lush ripe pineapple is huge on the nose. The palate presents only a slight acidity but has more of a creamy mid palate with a very soft finish.

Nice nectarine and white peach flavors, not fully ripe notes with stronger puckering acid/tartness. Good mineral notes help balance it out. Hits lots of good notes but doesn’t fully harmonize into something more than its individual parts. Could be interesting with a couple more years in the bottle to see if it develops some richer depth.
