Estate-grown and fruit-driven, this lush, pear-flavored Pinot Gris is dotted with pretty cinnamon and allspice highlights. Forward and nicely balanced, it has the texture and weight to handle rich sauces, much like a big Chardonnay, but without all the new oak. ——P.G.(6/1/2011)—— 88

Round and fruity with fully ripe, even sweet flavors of pear and honeydew melon. It’s a little yeasty also, with a somewhat beery finish. But overall it’s a fine bottle for simple sipping. ——P.G.(11/15/2008)—— 86
