Alma Rosa
Like one of the models in a Modigliani, lean yet full of curves, our 2008 Pinot Gris is a bit softer and more rounded than the prior vintage. It retains the wonderfully brilliant nose of fresh orchard fruits and a pleasant bitter-almond quality, along with apple pie-like flavors and cleansing acidity that lead us to recommend pairing this wine with Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, or inventive Pacific Rim dishes. Let’s do some lightly-fried or grilled fish in garlic-lime butter with a spicy tropical-fruit salsa.
Wine Enthusiast
A very nice wine, bone dry and crisp in cool-climate acidity that really gets the mouth watering. It has complex flavors of lemons, limes, grapefruit and herbs, with a clean, pleasing minerality.
Score: 88. —Steve Heimoff, November 30, 2009.Customers who purchased this item also bought:
