Martinborough’s 2008 Pinot Gris has a light lemon curd and nectarine tinged nose. There is great clarity here with orange peel and a hint of pineapple. The palate has a crisp entry and is a little waxy in texture. Leesy with notes of pear skin and nectarine that fan out nicely on the finish, this is a well-crafted Pinot Gris reminiscent of a fine Alsace. Drink now-2012.
