Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:

The Vin Gris is a bright and vibrant salmon color with cherry, strawberry, cranberry and ripe watermelon aromas on the nose. On entry, the wine displays bright strawberry flavors. Throughout the mid-palate and finish, raspberry and cherry fruit characters are balanced with spicy and crisp acidity that linger creating a refreshing and lengthy finish.


Personal Tasting Notes: 

This wine was a bit disappointing in that it was not extremely flavorful as the bouquet suggested.  The aromas that this wine gave were full of fruit scents and could even be smelled with the glass held about 1 foot from the face.  The aromas were full of cherries, cranberries, and strawberries.   However there were almost none of these flavors detectable in the wine.  The wine was dry but smooth and had nail polish components in the flavor.   Finally the linger on the palate was light and of medium length.   

This wine was tasted without food
