A very tasty wine, loaded with fleshy, fruity flavor. The dominant note is fresh cut pear, dappled with cinnamon spice. Round and balanced, it’s a delicious bottle with just a slight hint of residual sweetness. ——P.G.(3/1/2011)—— 88

Carabella’s tasty, toasty take on Pinot Gris is a blend of two clones, mostly fermented in stainless steel, but with a third of it fermented in neutral oak. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, a mix of white peach and pear, toasted hazelnuts and butterscotch. Simply delicious.——P.G.(4/1/2009)—— 90
