A very, very pretty wine, with lovely fruit and berry character and hints of tobacco. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a fresh finish. Solid core of fruit. Score range: 91-94
Tropical fruit and smoke notes hold court in this rich, yet streamlined Pinot Gris. It shows more density than most in this category, with an undercurrent of mineral. Good finish. Drink now through 2003. 680 cases made.
