Wine Enthusiast, 90 Points 

"Aromas of lychee, lemon and juicy pineapple jump from the glass of this crisp and refreshing Pinot Gris. The palate brings tropical fruit, but also melon, white flowers and star anise along the mouthwatering finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The lively aromatics, delicate texture and sheer personality define this top-tier Pinot Gris. It’s focused with crisp acidity and yet manages to maintain a powerful weight and presence throughout. It’s that rare wine juxtaposition of light and racy carried on a sturdy and slightly hedonistic structure. All in balance. All delicious. Simply delightful. Aromatically, the wine opens with citrus and delicate slate aromas followed with darker ripe fruit. The mouthfeel is a contrast of zingy lime, perfect viscosity and subtle tannins that add texture and extend the wine through an incredible and lengthy finish."  

Alcohol: 13.6%
