2007 Terra Del Capo Pinot Grigio Coastal Region 78 Points

2007 Terra Del Capo Pinot Grigio Coastal Region 78 Points
Textbook Pinot Grigio, with pears, red apples and hints of citrus medley. Fresh, fruity, crisp, good balance between fruit and acid structure, quite oily. Dried pears and apples follow through, could have attain higher rating if the palate was more filling and structured
Well made, but somewhat lack the seriousness of a very good Alsace or South Island Pinot Gris, I suspect a combination of yield on the high side as well as young vineyard, to keep up with demand, good everyday aperitif, but not for restaurant listing. Now until 2010
