Lion Valley 1999 Estate Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Pinot Gris Oregon
Winery: Lion Valley / Willamette Valley

The first whiff brings a noseful of sulfur, although most of it blows off on airing. The underlying flavors are lovely, though, suggesting citrus fruits and apple, supported by crisp acidity. Finishes clean and crisp. Would score higher except for the opening smell.
