Dewey Kelly Pinot Gris

Dewey Kelly Pinot Gris Reserve Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: The 2004 Pinot Gris perfectly captures the essence of the pinot gris grapes in the vineyard. It is bright and crisp with tropical notes of star fruit and pineapple. Like the 2003, it was barrel fermented and remained in the barrels, sur lies, for four months. This gives it body and depth that sustain the bright crispness and fruit flavors all the way through to the finish. Great for sipping by itself or with cheese, poultry, or seafood, it also holds up well to spicy curries or hard-to-match Latin or Asian cuisine. Just 51 cases were bottled.

Varietal Definition
Pinot Grigio/Gris:
Pinkish-white variety producing a very crisp white wine. Grown in Oregon, the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and more and more in California, it shows promise for other cool climates. Also known as Tokay d'Alsace in France, Rulander in Germany, and Pinot Grigio in Italy.
