Wine Review: This tasty Pinot Gris is pale yellow colored and opens with an orange blossom, beeswax and wet stone bouquet. On the palate, it is fruity with balanced acidity and a light body. I enjoyed its red apple, lemon and light minerality flavors along with a lingering dry finish that included some additional citrus notes. Chilled oysters on the half-shell would go nicely with this very good Oregon Pinot Gris. – Mark

Winemaker Notes: Our 2015 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris is our signature white wine of Oregon. We press the Pinot Gris grapes as whole clusters. They are given a slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel, which gives the wine a firm, focused backbone coupled with its lush creaminess. Our Pinot Gris has complex undertones of earth and mineral with expressive notes of floral, citrus and melon. Pair with crab, oysters, halibut or soft artisan cheeses.
