Barely straw colored. Let's start by saying blind, I'd have never guessed this was Pinot. If have said it was some blend of gewurstraminer and oaky Chardonnay despite the color. Initially you get this round, buttery tropical nose, that melts into crisp green apple and vanilla. Medium bodied and fat for a Pinot. Creamy and acidic and tart only toward the end of the mid palate and finish. Really interesting pinot. 91
