Pinot Gris

Tasting profile

Structure: medium-bodied, medium acidity, dry

Oregon's benchmark Pinot Gris, and a reminder that the grape has more to offer than the Italian version suggests — ripe pear and melon with white flowers and a citrus-peel edge, carried on a texture with genuine weight. The Willamette Valley's cool nights keep it fresh where warmer regions would leave it flabby. Lovely on release and holds its poise for a few years, picking up a honeyed note as it goes.
