2015 King Estate Pfeiffer Pinot Gris

Tasting Notes

The wine is pale straw in color. Tropical fruit and citrus notes of pineapple and orange zest greet the nose along with pear, wild honey and rose petal with an underpinning of minerality. Flavors expand to include melon, lime juice, damp slate and violets. The entrance is smooth and lively. The fresh fruit dances harmoniously with acidity across the palate, displaying an ample and juicy finish.
