The 2010 Pinot Gris (a 7,000 case blend of 81% Pinot Gris and 19% Chardonnay) over-delivers big time. Ripe pear, honeysuckle and white flower aromas jump from the glass of this crisp, medium-bodied, fresh, lively white. There is no hint of oak in this cuvee. It, too, should be enjoyed over the next 6-12 months. This is the finest portfolio of value-priced wines from Cline Cellars that I have tasted to date.Tel. (707) 940-4030; Fax (707) 940-4034

A lovely white wine marked by savory crispness and bright flavors of pineapples, lemons, limes and other zesty citrus fruits. Finishes dry and clean, with little or no oak influence.——S.H.(8/1/2009)—— 87
