This may be the best Pinot Gris I've ever tasted. I can't even think of any that come close... Deiss, Jermann? Maybe if Bob Stuckey stepped it up?

Is it an orange wine? Is it a concentrated rose? Interesting drink. Enjoyed this. Discussion ensued.

Drinks like summer. Honeysuckle and briny sea scallop nose with watermelon in the mid palate. Leaves you wanting more like a day at the beach. Opened up with decanting.

Apricot, tomato skin, lively but also well-padded. Great with weird food.

Easily best Pinot Gris I've ever drank. Incredible nose and a smooth finish. Hope I can find another bottle in the cellar.
