This precision-crafted pinot Gris is a blend of grapes from three excellent vineyards, all cropped down to about two tons per acre, what the winemaker rightly calls “ridiculously low for Pinot Gris.” Flavors are pineapple and pear, proportionately balanced against just-right natural acids and tannins. Hints of honey, caramel and spice complete the show. Best Buy. —P.G.——P.G.(12/31/2002)—— 91
