title: Beauregard 2012 Regan Vineyard Pinot Gris (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: The aromas of this wine from a vineyard in the Corralitos area somehow reflect its orange color (perhaps due to three weeks of skin contact), with orange rose petals and iced rooibos tea, yet with a steely minerality more common in pale white wines. The palate shows pickled plums and stewed stone fruits against a gunmetal backdrop and citrus peel bite. It's unique and very tasty.
variety: Pinot Gris
