The first thing you notice in this wine is a burst of fresh floral aromatics and a full-blown fresh ripe apricot fruitiness. The stone-fruit motif is continued on the palate, along with a bit of tangerine and the clean wet stone mineral effect that is the benchmark of La Encantada Vineyard Pinot Gris. Only a couple hundred cases were produced (from only 1 ½ acres) so this is one to grab before it is all gone.

 

This wine would be happy hanging out with spicy Asian-influenced dishes or with robust Mediterranean inspired vegetables and seafood preparations, even East-Indian cuisine.
