A very fine vintage for this always popular Pinot Gris from Mark Vlossak. Mark tries for an Alsace-styled Pinot Gris, blending richness with a dry, crisp, finish. The 2011 is more concentrated and expressive than last year's 2010, with aromas of apricot, peach blossom, passion fruit and a touch of spice. In the mouth it's dry and bright with notes of pear, apricot, lime and hints of honey and toast. Finishes dry, and clean with bright peach flavors lingering nicely. Great with a wide range of meals and an elegant choice for Holiday parties.

Owner/winemaker Mark Vlossak created this wine so he'd have something perfect to drink with fresh Dungeness crab, and while it does other things well, it's really brilliant with seafood. Aromas of pineapple, white peach and apricot lead to a fresh, vibrant, mouthful of white fruits, spice and mineral. Round and minerally textured, it finishes with just the right squirt of acidity. Ceviche, shellfish, or even fish tacos all work beautifully.

Mark Vlossak always delivers a lovely blend of ripe power and earthy elegance in his wines, and this - his entry-level 2011 - is a beauty. Opens with smoky, earthy aromas of dark fruit and plenty of spice. Then loads of earthy, smoky cherry and pomegranate flavors with more spice. Lithe and elegant, this closes with pretty acidity and light, fine, tannin.
"Tight, focused and juicy, with blackberry and currant fruit playing against mineral flavors and tangy acidity as the finish lingers enticingly."Wine Spectator 90 points
