This wine has a nose of apples and white peach with accents of wet stone.
It's got a crisp entry onto the palate with crunchy orchard fruits like apples, Bartlett pear and underripe white peach. There is a petrol quality to it along with flint and slate minerality. The acidity remains balancing throughout the palate, which is very nice as a lot of California Pinot Gris can get a bit flabby and lack acid. The acid isn't so bright though that it washes the palate clean, which leaves a nice bit of fresh apple and suggestion of river stone on the finish, which isn't short.
This would be a great wine with food. Think spicy Asian noodles, light white fish, pork chop or loin, bratwurst.
