Wine Review: We did not see too many Pinot Gris’ on this trip, but this one caught our attention. This wine has a honeysuckle like bouquet. On the palate, the wine is a creamy, fruit forward, rich melon flavored wine. It is round and quite tasty. The finish is slightly sweet and a tad tingly. I would have this wine with Cabot’s Hunters Sharp Cheddar cheese on a nice hot day. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our first release of Pinot Gris greets the senses with exotic aromas of honeydew melon and kumquats. The palate is a mouthwatering mix of peach and green apples, finishing with lingering notes of tart pear.
