This Pinot Gris is noted for its fresh fruit aromas, dominated by ripe peach, pear and nectarine notes. The minimal contact with oak provides some creamy textures that complement the wine's bright acidity, making this an ideal food wine.
A collaboration between winemaker Philip Zorn and Brent Shortridge, Waterstone Winery was founded in 2000 when the two men discovered a shared interest in creating luxury wines at affordable prices.
With its blue hues and pronounced blueberry aromas, this distinct blend (64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Syrah, 2% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Cabernet Franc) is a study in blue. Bordeaux varieties provide the framework, while Syrah transports the blend to a realm all its own. It's simply, Kind of Blue.
With its Bordeaux-like presence, this wine is deep, rich, and lingering. Firm, integrated tannins frame the concentrated, dark fruit (currant, black cherry, wild berry, plum.) Toasty oak and an earthy edge add to the wine's great complexity.
