2009 Big Fire Pinot Gris
A daydream -
a mountain-top
a cooling breeze
the almost hush of a waterfall
all in a glass. Truly
The 2009 Big Fire Pinot Gris is glorious.
It is being on that mountain
Sunlight shimmering on snow all around you
It is succulent, just ripe, Anjou pear
moist tender lychee fruit
It is a memory of cool green grapes
It is bracing, beautiful — it will lift you up
Whether your dream (or your dinner) is from a far-off, exotic locale – or just locally exotic – Big Fire Pinot Gris will be right there.
Are you with this?
