Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Pinot Gris from Oregon opens with a very fragrant and attractive lime and green apple bouquet with hints of almond. On the palate, this wine is off-dry, balanced and juicy. The flavor profile is a mineral infused walnut and green apple blend with notes of ripe Anjou pear and a touch of ginger. The finish is remains off-dry and refreshing. I would pair this Pinot Gris with swordfish skewers. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This classic Willamette Valley Pinot Gris is a true expression of both its vintage and the environment in which it was grown. This wine is intensely flavorful with a refreshing, well balanced palate profile. effusive and aromatic right out of the glass, this Pinot Gris showcases classic varietal aromas along with a streak of minerality and lime zest. Those flavors carry through to the palate, which offers a creamy textural profile backed by refreshing, mineral-drenched acidity and fruit character on the finish.
