This inexpensive Pinot Gris has pear fruit with spicy highlights that somehow conjure up caraway. It’s wrapped in yeasty flavors of fresh-baked bread and plenty of lemony acid.

Cloudline wines are a project of importer Dreyfus Ashby, vinified with guidance from DDO’s Veronique Drouhin. It’s a professional product, clean and straightforward, with tart red fruits and striking acidity. The tannins, ripe and firm, provide some finishing heft.

This is an acid-lover’s Pinot Gris, quite tart and lemony. The lightly ripened fruit hints at green apples and pears, with nicely managed phenolics that put an edge on the finish.

Inexpensive Pinot Noir is perhaps the most difficult wine to make, but Cloudline gives it a good effort. Quite light, it has clean and pleasantly fruity flavors of red currants and berries; there just isn’t any weight to the wine. It’s almost ghost-like.
