Coleman Vineyard Pinot grigio 06

Winery: Coleman

Scents and flavors of pear, stone fruit, melon, and white flowers- flavors start with sweet fruit -- pear, sweet grapefruit, then a sense of minerality emerges, finishing with nice balanced, refreshing acidity with mineral notes. There's a streak of uplifting acidity in the finish that clears the palate and makes you want another sip. -jean

MORE INFORMATION

Stainless steel fermented with three selected yeast strains to maintain a crisp, fruity style. There is no malolactic fermentation, and a slight hint of residual sugar balances the bright palate and mineral backbone.

For both sipping or enjoying with meals, this is a Pinot Gris that appeals to a broad range of palates. The fruitiness in the wine is a bridge for beginning palates who have mainly experienced sweeter white wines and would like to broaden their wine experience. The mineral phenolic backbone characteristic of Coleman Vineyard Pinot Gris appeals to more experienced drinkers and those who look for particular wines to pair with food.

Depending on your setting, taste pears, apricots, and tropical fruit. Elegant enough for a reception, this wine has graced many a wedding. Or try a beach party, clam-dig, or a picnic basket. This Pinot Gris pairs well with shellfish, Pan-Asian style dishes, roasted chicken, salmon, and pork, and soft cheeses paired with apples or pears.
