It's a wonder what a little time on skins can do for Pinot Gris/Grigio. In this wine's case it adds texture and character (and a slightly bronzed color, of course). Bitter almonds, honey, peach pits, red-apple skins, lychees and white pepper all shine through to the palate which is chalk-textured but full of zingy acidity. Still fairly tightly wound, it'll be interesting to see this wine evolve over the next year or two.
