2013 Wind Gap Pinot Gris Windsor Oaks Vineyard

The 2013 Pinot Gris Windsor Oaks Vineyard is made from fully destemmed fruit and vinified like Pinot Noir, with manual punch downs and some skin contact, which leaves the wine with and orangeish hue similar to what Italians call 'ramato' in Pinot Grigio. Crushed flowers, dried cherries and herbs are all laced together in a pretty, exotic white. This eccentric Pinot Gris requires an adventurous palate and mind, but it is undeniably pretty.
