Maysara 2022 Arsheen Pinot Gris

Though sourced from the same biodynamic estate vineyard, this Pinot Gris is beautifully differentiated from its companion Pinot Blanc. This is not always the case in book-matched estate wines. Native yeast fermentation in stainless steel captures the steely freshness, leesy texture and crisp citrus skin flavors, with lemon, lime and grapefruit in equal proportions. As it warms in the glass the wine fleshes out, adding satsuma orange and hints of lightly bitter botanicals. Generous and palate cleansing, this may be enjoyed immediately, or cellared for another decade. 1288 cases; 12.3%; $18 (McMinnville) 93/100. Purchase here.
