2009 Carmel Road Monterey Pinot Gris Winemaker's Notes Monterey is an ideal place to grow Pinot Gris, a variety that benefits from the region's famously sunny days as well as its maritime breezes and fog. The resulting wine features a generous texture with distinct crispness and vibrant flavors of lemon, peach, honeydew melon and lilac, all of which conspire to be enjoyed with food or as an aperitif all on its own.
