4 | Wine | Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris, United States

"Acrobat Pinot Gris is an extremely approachable wine and a versatile food companion. It has been consistently praised for it’s value, delivering great quality for a modest price."

"Intense aromatics of lime blossom, nectarine, tangerine, melon, wet stone and guava that build into aromatics of nutmeg, Bing cherries and kiwi. The palate is concentrated, ripe and succulent with wonderful lush fruit and mineral notes. The concentration is framed by ripe acidity that gives lift to the wine as it moves to the mid-palate. The flavors on the mid-palate echo the aromas with a deeper not of honey. The wine moves seamlessly into a finish that goes on for some time before finishing crisply. The lasting impression of the wine is great purity and intensity balanced by wonderful juiciness and succulence."

"The 2012 Elk Cove Vineyards Pinot Gris has sweet and unctuous aromatics while showing crispness on the palate with vibrant citrus and grapefruit. True to Elk Cove Vineyards’ style, a rich mouthfeel leads to a full and satisfying balanced finish. Drink this lovely white wine as an aperitif or with a variety of food pairings from salmon and main-course salads to Asian and Thai influenced dishes."

"In the nose, cut summer grass gives way to white nectarine, honeysuckle, Italian melon and white anise. Crushed seashells and minerals abound and anchor this wine all the way through to the fresh and complex finish. Italian inspired, locally produced."
