J Vineyards California Pinot Gris 2017 Review

On the sweeter side of Gris, this wine is refreshing when nice and chilled down. You're not getting the complexity of this grape, rather you are seeing how much natural sugar this grape can produce while still maintaining bracing acidity. The saccharine finish shows this bottle is more for those with a sweet tooth wine preference. It may do well with some backyard BBQ or maybe a spicy Pad Thai. FYI, it’s only available online.
