Lot 403 | 2022 Anderson Valley Pinot Gris 750ml (97-points)

Lot 403
2022 Anderson Valley Pinot Gris (97-points)

Lot 403 is sourced from one of Anderson Valley’s pioneers, grown on their estate vineyards, and hand-selected from only the ripest and best blocks in the vineyard. This delicious, scintillating, bone-dry Pinot Gris is crystalline, energetic, and mouthwatering, making for a wonderful aperitif, poolside sipper, or meal accompaniment…think Orchard Fruit Salad with Burrata, to Oysters on the Half Shell, and other lighter seafood fare. 

A fresh, bright and effusive bouquet opens with orangesicle evolving into fresh, crisp apple, honeycomb, citrus zest, and citrus blossom underpinned by a pretty minerality. Fleshy on the palate with an amalgam of apple fruit and chalk, this bone-dry white is a beautiful rendition of an Alsatian or Alto Adige Pinot Gris. Wonderfully-balanced and well-structured, it delivers orange and vanilla blossom notes, then a lemon-flecked minerality crosses the wine into an elegant, sustained finish with exceptional purity.

Refreshing even in the winter

OG N.403

"Pale straw color, bright and clear. Medium to profound intensity nose of lemons, mangos, and plantains. Medium weight with vibrant acidity and deep enough fruit to create a really nice combination. This has some real quality behind it, like a nice Bordeaux blanc with a little tropical twist. 5+11+17+7= 90"

— Robert H. (4/5)

Tasted like the 97-point Pinot

"Tasted like the 97-point Pinot Gris you promised! Would love to buy more!"

— Deb J. (5/5)
