The first Pinot Gris tasted from Irvine, the 2001 Eden Crest, from a vineyard planted on Heartbreak Hill, reveals buttery citrus-like fruit along with medium body, and a straightforward, clean finish. The style is vaguely reminiscent of Alsace without the body and density of the finest French examples. Consume it over the next 1-2 years.
