The wines of Michigan are getting much-deserved attention in recent vintages for more than just Riesling. This is a finely-balanced Pinot Grigio from the 2022 harvest on the Leelanau Peninsula of northern Michigan. The ripeness of the vintage shows with luscious aromas of juicy pear, peach, and tropical fruits backed by nuances of cream and subtle herbs. The flavors are pure, ripe, smooth and dry with the peach and pear fruits underlain by a subtly creamy texture plus floral and spice tones. Try it with fresh salmon or a dish with fresh basil and savor its rich but still refreshing style.
