My sister picked this one up cause it had a purdy bottle and looked interesting.

2000 Giradet Late Harvest Pinot Gris Southern Oregon
$15 375ml

Strong apricots on the nose and palate. Very round in the mouth. At 26% residual sugar, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to drink it or pour it on my flapjacks. I think it was something like 12% alcohol. Despite the high sugar, it wasn't too syrupy. What would have made this wine really good is a nice acidic backbone to make that sugar and strong flavor zing. It was just too flabby as is. Nice try though.
