Navarro Vineyards, Anderson Valley (Mendocino County, California) Pinot Gris 2019

 I always look to see if I’ve reviewed Navarro wines that cross my station at wine competitions – they seem to repeat themselves as far as scoring big, and they never become boring while doing so.  This is my first look at the new vintage of Pinot Gris, and it doesn’t disappoint.  It presents just the slightest touch off dry this year, which makes it all the more luscious and popping with stonefruit and lime.  It’s a perfect drink me all day style.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
