Acrobat Pinot Gris 2008 750ML 
sku: 13110
Acrobat is fun. A wine born to introduce even more people to the style
and grace of Pinot Gris. Grown responsibly in the gorgeous hills and
valleys of Western Oregon, this wine works wonderfully with food of all
kinds and is equally crisp and refreshing on its own.
Wine
Spectator: Light and juicy, delivering lively pear, honeydew and spice
aromas and flavors that linger nicely. Drink now. - H.S.
Wine
Maker's Notes: 2008 was a classic Oregon vintage. A cool spring started
the vintage off slowly, but warm summer weather allowed the grapes to
catch up and grown at a steady, even pace. Estate heat summation was
typical, 1807 growing degree days vs. the average 1811. The summer saw
below average rain fall with only 6.75 inches between April and
October, including a minimal 1.5 inches that fell during the critical
late-September / early-October pre-harvest period. As a result, fruit
was clean, ripe and concentrated.
Tasting Notes:
Color: Very pale straw with golden highlights.
Nose: Green apple, grapefruit, lime zest, and pear.
Flavors: Tangerine, lemon, kiwi, pineapple.
Mouthfeel: Crisp entry with nice balance between acidity and residual
sugar, round and full mid-palate, clean and refreshing finish.
A
perfect accompaniment for poultry, shellfish and other seafood. This
Pinot Gris would also pair beautifully with fruits, cheeses, and cured
meats.more
Suggested: $14.99
Our Price: $12.99
