2022 Jermann Pinot Grigio – A lightly sweet expression of pinot grigio, notes of peaches and orange blossoms dominate a creamy palate that eventually folds in sharper citrus tones and a spray of white and pink flowers. Thoughts follow. The influence of oak is never overwhelming, allowing a hint of nutmeg to show itself on the finish.
