Morgan Winery 2006 Pinot Gris, Santa Lucia Highlands

The color is golden straw with touches of pale green; it is brilliantly clear. On the nose, mandarin orange, mango and mineral aromas lead to a zingy, crisp and juicy mouthful of citrus, melon fruit and pear. Youthful, clean and bright on the palate, the wine is rich in texture and is rather full-bodied for Pinot Gris. The Alsatian concept of "ripe acidity" applies to this wine, whereby the acidity is so well integrated into the fruit that the perception of the wine is one of perfect balance, even though the acidity is crisp and refreshing.
