This is one of those peculiar wines that you can’t figure out from the nose … in fact, given just that I would have poured it down the sink cause all I got was something funky mixed with white pepper. But the palate more than made up for it with mac apple and fresh peach (pit and all). There’s also a creaminess in the mouth with white pepper, vanilla cream and lemon curd. But before everything gets too far out of hand the acidity comes sweeping in and cleans everything up … nice balance in this very interesting Pinot Gris. Price: $29.95 – Rating: ****+
