Shop/wine critic/winery review: 
Since this wine weighs in at 14%, the fruit was clearly very ripe. That ripeness is reflected in the flavors as well, which feature nectarine and honey accented by hints of white pepper. It’s full bodied and lush, with a long finish that mingles the sensations of sweet and spicy.
Your Review:
Wow.  I really liked this wine.  I have not had a Pinot Gris before, and I want to try more.  It  has sweet flavor, without the sugar.  I do note some hints of pepper, especially at the finish.  The end flavors are fantastic.
