Rounder and more fruity than the inaugural 2007 Pinot Gris, this has succulent green apple and Bosch pear flavors balanced against crisp, refreshing acids.——P.G.(9/1/2009)—— 88

This is quite crisp and clean, with fairly typical flavors for Washington Pinot Gris. Which is to say, not nearly as fleshy as the wines from Oregon, with less of the juicy pear character. There’s plenty of acid, more like green apple than ripe pear. It’s a soundly made wine, clean and fresh, but less varietally distinctive than one would hope for. ——P.G.(12/1/2008)—— 85
