Adelsheim Pinot Gris 2006
After a day of drinking light-bodied crisp whites, it's been nice to enjoy a post-dinner glass of Adelsheim's 2006 Pinot Gris. Produced in the idyllic conditions of south facing vinyards sheltered by mountains, this Pinot Gris makes one think of everything white: white peaches, coconut and honeysuckle. The mouthfeel is lush and creamy with a current of acidity that put me in mind of the delicious lemon panna cotta I had for dessert tonight at the wonderful Anteprima. We had Gavi di Gavi with dinner, and while it had nice acidity, it lacked heft, and the Adelsheim has the body I was hoping for in the Gavi, plus the white fruits. I picked up a bottle of Murphy's Law Red Blend from Owen Roe today as well, which I'm looking forwartd to cracking. I'm curious about the cepage, which is left deliberately vague on the bottle, but perhaps I'll leave it a "whodunit", and research the grapes after I draw my own preliminary conclusions.
