TASTING NOTES
Bright yellow with deeper gold. ripe-wheat flashes. the 2007 Pinot Gris has aromas of lychee, white flowers, guava, minerals, lemongrass, spice and orange blossoms. With some air, the nose really springs to life and offers deeper peach, Meyer lemon, blood orange and fresh white tea aromatics. Impressively concentrated on the attack, the wine is juicy and fresh, but at the same time walks a tightrope between hedonism and restraint. There is great richness and concentration in the whole wine from start to finish on the palate, but ripe acids give the richness focus and definition. The length of the wine is spectacular and finally finishes bright. crisp and clean, with a lingering Satsuma citrus note that lasts and lasts.
