This is a full-bodied Pinot Gris from the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The ripeness of the 2019 vintage shows with opulent aromas of juicy ripe pear, peach, sweet citrus and guava fruits backed by nuances of cream, nutmeg and subtle herbs. The flavors are round, ripe and smooth, with the peach and pear fruits underlain by a creamy texture plus floral and spice tones. This is a balanced and elegant Pinot Gris. Try it with fresh salmon or a tomato-basil salad and enjoy its rich but still refreshing style.
