PROFESSIONAL BRONZE MEDAL WINNER - OREGON STATE FAIR 2007
Fresh Bartlett Pears come to mind when you first inhale the delicious aroma. At first taste, it is light, refreshing, and a little fruity with a light finish. A little spritz on the finish. Delicious with wild sockeye salmon. This Pinot Gris was made exclusively from grapes grown in the Willamette Valley. Aged only in stainless steel to allow the fruit flavors to come forward. Similar in style to the Pinot Grigio’s from Italy.
Dijon clone 152 planted on our estate, Wolf Hill Vineyard, meticulously cared for by our vineyard manager Jim Huggins, is the first to mature, and has the richest flavor of all the Pinot Gris we produce. Barrel fermented and aged for just a few months to flesh out the softer side of Pinot Gris. Rich, deep, and serious are the words Steve Anderson, Our Winemaker, uses to describe this wine.
