Wine Review: The wine opens with a nice fragrant citrusy bouquet. On the palate this wine is medium bodied with some acidity and great flavors. The wine is very well balanced and will go well with many meals. I particularly see it as a great enhancer to seafood dishes. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This pale straw colored Pinot Gris displays generous floral, pear, and white peach aromas. On the palate, this beautifully balanced wine is initially crisp with zesty citrus and granny smith apple flavors that lead into a delightfully fruity finish which is long and extremely clean. This refreshing wine goes extraordinarily well with shellfish, creamy pasta dishes, light appetizers and sunny weather. Enjoy!
