Keller Estate
La Cruz Vineyard Pinot Gris
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Pale golden. Overripe melon dominates the nose with the help of honeysuckle. Melon, honeydew, and pineapple on the palate with a nice, hay-like, transition to mid. Follows through the finish with a smooth, fuller bodied (malo?), and off-dry mouthfeel. Balanced acidity through out. A unique pinot gris, almost comes out like a Viognier. Too sweet for my liking, and could have more minerality, but a well crafted, creative and thoughtful wine nonetheless.
