WINE & DINE
It’s just a name By Celia Strong It may be just a name, but names can define who you are. Before you even open your mouth. With wines, this is so true. Just like their source, a wine’s name can make a big difference. Even helping them to sell better. With some grape varieties, this is especially true. For example – Pinot Gris. Or is it Pinot Grigio? Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are actually the same grape. The former Celia is the French Strong version of its name, and the latter is the Italian version. Languages only. This variety is a mutant of Pinot Noir, a very unstable variety in the vineyards, and is related to Pinot Blanc. Pinot Noir has a dark red/purple skin, Pinot Blanc has a green skin and Pinot Gris has a mix of skin colors – brownish pink to black and white, sometimes several colors on one single grape skin. In Alsace, France, Pinot Gris wines are generally fuller bodied with some spiciness in their flavors. (An excellent one to try is Hugel Pinot Gris.) These wines have moderate acidity, higher alcohol levels, and an almost “oily” texture that gives them their fuller, heavier body.
This style is often duplicated in New Zealand, Washington and Oregon. Italian Pinot Grigios are lighter bodied and more acidic, so noticeably drier. Often, these wines come from grapes that are harvested earlier in order to retain acidity and show less fruitiness in the finished wine. California and Australia versions usually use the “Grigio” name for their wines. Of course, all this is a generality for the use of one name over the other. In districts of northeastern Italy, because the heritage of many of the wines produced there, some producers make Pinot Gris. (Try Villa Wolf Pinot Gris!) California, because of its huge variety of soils and climates, has some wines that are more Alsatian style. Plus many that are their own unique style. (Think about some barrel aging time.) Not being restricted by any label laws, like in Europe, producers are free to choose either name. If their surveys report “Grigio” on their label will sell more than “Gris,” the decision is made. With no regard to wine style. Not good, not bad. Just the way it is. J Pinot Gris is a perfect, and unique, California wine to look at. J Vineyards and Winery started out, in 1986, as a family extension of Jordan. Mostly for sparkling wine. Over time, J grew, made more wines, and developed its own fans. Today J Pinot Gris, Pi-
not Noir and Chardonnay are flourishing. J Pinot Gris is that unique example of California Pinot Gris. Warm, sunny growing conditions, plenty of water for the vines, not too late a harvest. The grapes are hand picked and pressed as whole clusters. Gently, so that minimal harsh components from seeds and skins are not transferred into the wine. Each source of these grapes was fermented separately, at cool temperatures in stainless steel, each aged separately, and then blended into the final wine. This enables the wine to have its unique flavor and texture profile. Malolactic fermentation is not done. Each and every step is chosen to augment the wine’s fruitiness, balance, and complexity. A glass of J Pinot Gris starts with an explosion of fruit forwardness. Yes, fruitier like Alsatian Pinot Gris, and still more in the complexity and abundance of fruits. Honeysuckle, tangerine, kaffir lime. Followed by green apples, Meyer lemons, tangy pineapple. Florals notes, too. Crisp and clean. Minerality on its finish. Dry and fruity and perfumy like Alsace. Big fruitiness and mild acidity and fuller body like California. One of the few California Pinot Gris. Unique. For $14.99. Enjoy. Celia Strong works at Bill’s Liquor & Fine Wines on Lady’s Island.
