Hmm...
Being that the market is "soaked" with Gris and Grigio, it takes a lot to impress! This wine delivers intense apricot and bright Moros [blood orange] and focus that fruit into layers of coconut. One is to assume that since the wine is done in stainless steel they have enough acidity they can afford to lay the wine on the lees for an extended period.
Why spend the money?
Laird has 24,312 bottles produced of this wine while Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio sales reached some 8,5 million bottles in 2006.
This wine is also a single vineyard production which gives hands-on
control with Cold Creek Ranch vineyard being a preeminent site
for the production of both Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.
