RRV PG? Interesting. Med gold color with more of a neutral nose. Marshmallow lees, yellow orchard fruit skin. Weighty and oily palate. Mineral focused, Med acid. I think pretty solid for the price.

Nothing special, but a nice, crisp PG. Some pear and apple chardonnay-like flavors. Maybe a year or two past its drinking window, but still not bad.

Nicely crafted Pinot Gris with notes of citrus, white flowers, honey, and minerals. Long, long finish. Very easy to like. Great with shellfish. 89-90 points.

This beautiful pale straw colored wine has aromas of lime, Roma apples, fig & juicy peaches. The flavors are fruit forward with Kadota figs (green ones), peach, apple & a hint of cream. The soft texture on the entry has a mineral component and has a well balanced acidity on the finish.

Hans Kruger Tasting : Very steely, especially on the finish, and not quite as much fruit or depth as I wished for. 83-84
