Peller Private Reserve Pinot Gris 2009

A touch of Alsatian influence is evident in this Pinot Gris. Pale gold with a copper tint, the wine sports aromas of citrus peel, pear, mineral, and a hint of earthy mushroom. Off-dry and medium bodied, with a creamy texture, and fresh acidity keeping things tightly poised. A mineral/clay note emerges on the medium-long finish. Savour with grilled pickerel, or roast chicken in a cream-of-mushroom sauce. (Vintages panel, March 2011)
