The 2008 Pinot Gris has a slightly grassy nose with touches of butterscotch and dried lychee. Once again, natural with very good definition. The palate is medium-bodied, very harmonious with some crisp apple and pear notes, superb acidity and great freshness and poise towards the finish. Pinot Gris does not get much better than this and it lingers wonderfully in the mouth.
