Wine Review: This pale straw colored Pinot Gris from New Zealand opens with a mild pear and lime bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, slightly acidic and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a mineral infused Granny Smith apple and Anjou pear blend with a hint of lime. The finish is dry and its flavors are nicely prolonged. This Pinot Gris would pair well with a broiled lemon sole. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2011 Pinot Gris is made in a dry style and shows fresh bright aromatics of apricot, pear and jasmine. A luscious palate combines stonefruit and citrus flavours with a lovely spicy finish. Food Match: Light poultry and seafood.
