	Pinot Gris
		Pinot gris, or Pinot grigio in Italy, is a variant of the Pinot noir (often blended with Pinot noir to enrich and lighten the wine’s flavor), with grape clusters colored bluish gray, pink and brown.

	Pinot Gris from California & Oregon
		Pinot gris is a varietal that delivers distinctive, delicious, fruit-driven flavors, subtle aromas and a rich, yet crisp, texture.
		Pinot Gris is widely planted in Europe, especially in Germany, where the grape is vinified most usually into a dry wine called Grauburgunder (a late-harvest style, often made from botrytized grapes, is labeled Rulander), and in Italy, where it's known as Pinot Grigio.
		Jim Clendenen's style with the grape is more like Chardonnay than Pinot Gris, from its albeit fragrant nose of creamy citrus, tropical fruit and honeysuckle, tinged with smoky oak, to a creamy citrus palate that's smooth, rich and buttery, with well-integrated oak.

	Note on 2003 Pinot Gris Reserve
		This pinot gris is a true reserve wine--the fruit is divided at harvest, after full ripeness is achieved, with the reserve portion going through barrel fermentation in neutral oak.
		With long lees contact, minor partial ML (malolactic fermentation), and a variety of yeasts, the wine is concentrated, complex, well-textured, and carries tropical fruit aromas and a tight pear flavor profile, accented with a honeyed richness.
		A very weighty pinot gris, thanks to the 2003 growing season, there is still a lightness of step with good acid, a brightness on the palate, and delicate aromas and flavors.

	INRA - The secret of pinot gris
		The pinot gris is a natural plant chimera: in fact, the genome of the grape skin differs from that of the grape berry.
		The gris (grey) characteristic is therefore probably due to genetic mutations which occurred spontaneously in the grape skin and not in the genome of the whole plant, which indeed corresponds to a pinot blanc (white)!
		Thus, the pinot gris results from the combination of a "grey" skin, which provides its colour and probably its aromatic properties, and inner tissues of a "blanc" type.
