2020 Pinot Gris Grand Klasse Reserve
Tasting notes
Williams pear, lemon oil, and notes of ginger ale. The 2020 Grand Klasse Pinot Gris begins with a very fragrant and focused nose. Swirling brings ripe cantaloupe, papaya, and oak spice. The mouthfeel is very soft and lush, with stone fruit flavors and lingering spice. This medium to full bodied Pinot Gris has beautiful acidity that carries the wine to a long finish. Enjoy now or in the next 8 years.
Inspired by the French Grand Cru wines, Gard “Grand Klasse” is our reserve-level program, aptly named in reflection of our Scandinavian heritage. It represents the top tier of Gård wines, the best of what our estate vineyard has to offer. Award-winning wines produced by winemaker Aryn Morell to showcase the quality of the Lawrence Vineyards estate. To be designated “Grand Klasse,” each wine must meet strict standards of quality and is blended, bottled and aged with the utmost of care to bring you the very best of our grapes and effort in the bottle.
