“Pinot Gris suddenly has caught on with many wine drinkers. But, while many versions either lack fruit concentration or are too oaky, more are coming to market with excellent flavor and balance, like this 2002 Pavi. Made from 100% Pinot Gris, the grapes for this wine were Whole-cluster pressed, 95% tank fermented, ages on the lees for four months, and saw no malolactic fermentation. The result is delicious.”

***** Five Star Spotlight
“Wonderful Pinot Gris: extremely fruity character, supple texture, and well balanced; a wine tasting of apple, lemon grass, lemon peel,
and toast."
