Deovlet Pinot Grigio 'Ramato' Edna Valley Paragon Vineyard 2023 (750ml) Criots-Batard-Montrachet

Deovlet Pinot Grigio 'Ramato' Edna Valley Paragon Vineyard 2023 (750ml) Criots-Batard-MontrachetThis lovely copper colored libation takes its name from the Italian word for copper: Rame. This year? s rendition has a complex palate of white peach juice, mint, cedar, white pepper, tangerine, jasmine and lime zest. Notes of peach follow through on the palate along with marzipan, green almonds and a refreshing acidity. There is plenty of structure to stand up to meat, but not a major earthquake.
