2012 Pinot Gris

2012 Pinot Gris

Appellation: Rattlesnake Hills

The 2012 Vintage: 2012 wines benefit from a nearly perfect growing season that started out warm and stayed that way, ensuring even ripening for a very fine harvest and we actually picked a little ahead of schedule!

The Wine: Crisp, clean finish with nice aromas. With “threshold” residual sugar and fine acid for balance, this wine is bright and palate-cleansing and delivers the tasty, refreshing flavors that make Pinot Gris a terrific match for many cuisines.

Food Matches: Asian cuisine, fresh seafood like white fish and clams, prawns and crab where the wine supports and does not overwhelm the delicate flavors. Great as an aperitif anytime.
Descriptors: Ripe Pinot Gris scents with off-dry enticing flavors. This is a “two-glasses” aperitif for all occasions.
