Great wine to carry you all through a meal at YJ. Though the wine is mostly Pinot Noir- remember that it is possible to produce white wine from red grapes. The skin of a grape is where all the pigment lies, so in pressing the juice away from the skins early, it doesn’t allow the skins to impart color.
Definitely recommend for a Gewürztraminer or Riesling drinker
