A magnificent burst of aromas come off this pretty wine. It has all the tradi- tional perfumes associated with finely made Pinot Gris. Theres pear, apricot and Meyer lemon in abundance and gorgeous minerality with highlights of honeysuckle and wildflowers. Underneath, a mellow passion fruit aroma gives the wine extra depth and balances the high-toned citrus aromas with rounder tropical ones. A refreshing dose of lime rounds out the bouquet and continues into the crisp, cleansing mouthfeel.
Food wise, this wine is as versatile as they come. It has the minerality and tartness to compliment the rich, salty flavors of oysters on the half shell, the structure to pair with heavier fish like salmon and fatty tuna, and the depth to enhance fuller fair like a barbecued pork tenderloin with a mango reduction. In addition, it stands on its own quite easily and serves as an elegant aperitif.
