Balletto 2021 Pinot Gris   

2021 Balletto Pinot Gris "Estate" Russian River Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 91 Points

This wine is delightfully fresh yet surprisingly well concentrated, and it delivers aromas suggestive of dried peach, fresh green apple skin, apricot pit,  saline mineral notes and wisps of green melon and wild strawberry. Flavors of dry peach, apricot pit, preserved lemon, and firming mineral undercurrents fan out on the palate, where the texture is sleek and the flavors vibrant and lingering. A terrific and versatile dinner wine, it will also prove a fine pool-side gulper.
