This is Pinot Gris, straight up and down. It’s packed with pear and yellow apple fruit, subtly supported by hints of petrichor and quince, with perhaps a touch of persimmon. The palate follows suit—round and straightforward with fruit upfront, balanced by some bitter tonic notes. Ample texture and a welcome grip frame the wine’s rotund feel. It’s a drink-and-don’t-think vibe, nicely hitting the markers for a Gris at this price point.
