WTN: Just a lot of hot air

2007 Wind Gap Wines James Berry Vineyard
Young, grapey, but really no depth of flavor. This is a very disapponting wine that is properly made but woefully boring.

What grape?

I've never had their wines but the skin contact white wines are not supposed to be 'boring'.

Been a lot of hype for these new wines from Pax since he left Pax.... interesting your take, David. This is the GSM, right????

This is the GSM blend.

I have also had the 2007 Syrah which I liked very much. There's a 6 pack ofwhites on its way to my house now. Once I try those I will decide my future with Wind Gap.

David,
I just had my first taste of a Wind Gap wine on Monday, a Trousseau Gris that was fascinating and even (gasp!) appealing. Good luck with the whites!
