Best Buy! The brothers received formal education in enology (Walter) and viticulture (Gordon), and they let folks know they take an Italian angle to their Pinot Gris program even though they don’t use Grigio on the label. It opens with Bosc pear, lime, honeysuckle and minerality aromas, and those follow through on the palate. There’s a swabbing of sweetness on the midpalate (0.7% residual sugar) that’s managed by Key lime acidity, which allows for some wet stone in the finish. The results are heavenly, yet the bottle price is very down to earth. Qualifying award: Cascadia International (gold)
