We had this Jonathan Edwards Connecticut Pinot Gris and thought it was a well made wine. 2010 in the Northeast was a great year with a warm summer. It may be that for winemakers who are not familiar with California-like weather, the grape ripening in 2010 might have thrown them for a loop with acid levels being respired faster than normal, but this Pinot Gris contained a good amount of acidity which pairs well with food. Since Jonathan Edwards is a winemaker with experience with both California and Connecticut fruit, I'm sure he did all the right things to take advantage of the stellar grape growing year in 2010 to make this Pinot Gris.
