Erath, Pinot Gris, 2007
The nose has some sort of a barnyard smell, along with honey dew melon (or maybe cantaloupe), peaches, cucumber, and cilantro. The flavors include lemon, pear, and hints of sage. It's slightly sweet and sour, and thin. For me, it tastes a little like a really watered down grapefruit juice.
In most cases Erath is a good bargain wine, especially their Pinot Noir. But this just didn't hold up to the other recent Pinot Gris's I've been drinking lately (see the earlier reviews). However, Denise liked this; I obviously didn't. For her, the fact that it was thin was a plus paired with the hot weather we'ved been experiencing lately.
