Catch & Release Wines ‘Lover Girl’ Pinot Gris 2023 Review

This wine is an example of just how diverse a grape like Pinot Grigio can be. The fruit is sourced from a biodynamically farmed vineyard in the cool Anderson Valley and is whole-cluster pressed before aging on the lees in neutral French oak for 10 months. The nose is savory and mineral-driven with notes of roasted pear, rosemary, and sea salt. The palate has a good weight to it with a wonderful balance between rounded texture and racy acidity.
