The blend is about two thirds pinot gris, one third viognier, all showing the heat of the vintage, and giving the wine a solid core of thick, pear-flavored fruit. The alcohol shows in the heat of the finish.——P.G.(12/1/2004)—— 86

Mostly (70%) Pinot Gris, which shows itself in very ripe flavors of pear and apple fruit; the Viognier adds hints of light lemon and citrus blossom. A percentage was barrel fermented in French oak, adding some soft spice to the mix.——P.G.(12/31/2003)—— 87
