Franc De Pied

The 2021 Pinot Gris Whistling Ridge is distinctly savory with a blend of crushed green apples, lemon rinds, rosemary and sage. This is soothingly round, with depths of citrus-tinged orchard fruits and minerals giving way to sour melon, all across a stream of brisk acidity. The 2021 finishes spicy, with admirable length, all under an air of exotic inner florals, leaving the mouth watering for more. Quite distinct and impossible to ignore, the Pinot Gris refines for one year in used 820 liter Acacia puncheons.
