The label says “Blended & Bottled by” Joseph Carr, the highly successful negociant. He uses Josh for low to medium priced wines often sold in supermarkets. Made from Columbia Valley wine and bottled in Walla Walla, this Pinot Gris is not to be confused with the Josh Pinot Grigio. It is presented in a different bottle type and is dry and appeals as more of a food wine. It offers up front aromas of lime and apple that are fresh, and the flavors are bright citrusy with a touch of mango. With good balance and a pleasing texture, it concludes with a light hint of minerality.
