Popped and poured; served with cedar plank grilled Copper River salmon and Nordic mac & cheese. Extended skin contact gives this Pinot Gris a pale red color (in the case of the MMXV, darker than a rosé but not quite ruby colored). Cloudy with a significant amount of sediment. Given the combination of aging in amphora and acacia barrel, I expected more complexity. Instead, this was really a very one-dimensional wine. It was all fresh strawberries. Low tannins, and low-ish acid makes this come across a touch flabby for my tastes. But it is amazingly pure...and a good match with the meal. There is only a minuscule amount of this wine made so it was nice to have an opportunity to try it. Hoping more recent vintages are giving something more though.
