2022 Yakima Valley Pinot Gris
A new white wine for us. This Pinot Gris is rich and vibrant, with great texture and mouthfeel. A Burgundian expression of Pinot Gris. Lush and beautiful!
The Pinot Gris has a golden hue with aromas of yellow apple, Asian pear, vanilla, lemon peel, white peach with hints of light oak toast. The mouthfeel is sweet and enveloping with wonderful acidity and flavors of peaches, lemons, crisp apple and hints of vanilla bean. Enjoy through 2029.
