This dry Pinot Gris from Dion Vineyard in the Laurelwood Distrcit gets its rich dark color from fermenting the white grapes on their skins like a red wine, resulting in a bottle of beautiful depth and texture. The act of fermenting white grapes with their skins (skin contact wine) is considered "orange" wine, rather than a rose. Ripe Pinot Gris grapes are actually quite dark ("gris" = grey) in hue, so the juice turns a beautiful color pretty easily. 100 cases produced. | Love & SqualorIt's aromas are a combination of beauty and sauvage, with lavender and cherries waltzing with earthy Roobios tea and earthy rosemary. Apricots and almonds dominate the palate, where juicy acidity and velvety tannins reside. | 93 points, Wine Enthusiast
