2011 Pinot Gris Holman Ranch
Pinot Gris a wine often overlooked in my opinion and it's time to stop. California juice is similar in style to the Italian juice and I really enjoy both. The wine has many different characters from floral to fruit forward to spicy, with each glass crisp and clean.
Tonight's 2011 Holman Ranch fills the nose with pear, lemon, peach, pineapple, nectarine with hints of fresh cut wildflowers and honey. Really like the nose on this one.
In the mouth a nice ripe apple/lemon combination with juicy cantaloupe and minerality on the finish. Refreshing and I love the layers of flavor as they flow from start to finish.
Visit Holman Ranch and taste for yourself. Quality juice that won't break the bank.Tell them the Iowa Wino sent you.
Cheers
Dan
