There’s a copper tinge to this wine’s color, the result some skin contact. The result is a richly fruity wine blessed with layers of ripe apples and berries. Zesty and a bit phenolic on the finish, helping to balance the .8% residual sugar. Imported by Pacific Wine Partners. ——J.C.(2/1/2006)—— 88

Given its pronounced copper tinge, this wine likely sees some skin contact. The result is an almost berry-like aroma, along with more typical apple and almond notes. It’s also big, weighty and slightly sweet, making a powerful flavor statement. Imported by Pacific Wine Partners. ——J.C.(7/1/2005)—— 87

A big, ripe, slightly alcoholic wine, this is meant to make a statement. The color is coppery, suggesting some skin contact and there are even some red fruit flavors mixed in with the layers of peaches and honey. Slightly off-dry and low in acidity, this rich Pinot Gris would be lovely by itself on a lazy, late-summer day.——J.C.(8/1/2004)—— 87
