| 2008 Pinot Gris |
| submitted by: David Lawrason |
This is an impressive, very ripe Alsatian style with a nutty, peachy, spicy nose. Medium-full bodied with a touch of residual sweetness, lively acidity then a slightly bitter with a honey and peach finish. Very good length. Needs roast pork or honeyed ham.
