Crisp, bright flavors have always been the hallmark of Adelsheim Pinot gris. In this 2008, you’ll find hints of papaya, apples and pears. It pulls off the difficult feat of providing a gentle creaminess that lends a rich, mouthfilling texture and long finish, yet still impressing as a wine that’s crisp and clean. Try it with mildly spicy foods (such as ceviche), not so mildly spicy Thai cuisine, rich fish entrees, and even classic oven-roasted fowl.
Adelsheim lays claim to being the third winery in the country to make Pinot Gris; this is their 25th vintage. It’s a fine effort, beautifully rendered with crisp, spicy pear and melon fruit. Medium-bodied, focused and long.
