Dr. Konstantin Frank, Finger Lakes (New York) Pinot Gris 2006

($23): Although the Finger Lakes region of New York is known for stunning Riesling, this Pinot Gris shows the potential for that varietal in the region as well.  Bone dry, with nuances of spiced pear and good density, it is clearly a Pinot Gris–not a Pinot Grigio–style of wine and a very good one at that.  Its mouth cleansing acidity persists into its fine finish. 89 Michael Apstein Jul 22, 2008
