Balletto 2018 Pinot Gris   

BALLETTO PINOT GRIS RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY 2018

NVWE Notes: Offering emerging aromas of fresh apple skin, dried peach, white pepper and preserved lemon poised above a sharper mineral background, this is an attractive wine at a fine price. Things are more forthcoming on the palate, where denser notes of dried peach, dried apple, preserved lemon, white pepper and chalky minerality create a fully dry, food-worthy balance and a soft-edged and sippable lingering finish. It is ready to enjoy.
