In a marketplace saturated with Pinot Gris from around the globe, it is hard to stand out. This one is a solid example of the great potential for Pinot Gris that is farmed with love, and made with care.
This 2021 Pinot Gris from Hanson Vineyards just won a gold medal at the Cascadia International Wine competition for good reason!
This Pinot Gris is aromatic: think- floral, stone-fruit, and fresh chive.
On the palate, it's complexity makes for competing fruit notes: juicy apricot, ripe pear
and a super long finish. Just as you think the ripe fruit flavors are going to become sweet... the illusion of sweetness disappears.
This wine is un-oaked.
