The aromas of fresh cut apples are so strong that this could easily pass for apple cider in a blind tasting. It’s low alcohol, high acid, and quite unusual.——P.G.(10/1/2009)—— 85

Girardet farms its vineyards organically, does not irrigate, and ferments this wine in stainless steel. The result is a solidly made Pinot Gris, offering lush scents and tastes of ripe pear. Good texture and balance keep it from feeling one dimensional; puts the fruit front and center.——P.G.(11/15/2007)—— 88

Crisp and clean, stainless steel-fermented, yet showing a lot of tropical fruit in the nose, and a touch (half a percent) of residual sugar. Banana, mango and citrus flavors are there, along with plenty of acidity. Interesting, but not particularly varietal. ——P.G.(8/1/2002)—— 85
