Willamette Valley Vineyards, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Pinot Gris 2021

 This is a finely-balanced Pinot Gris from the warm 2021 harvest in the Willamette Valley.  The ripeness of the vintage shows with luscious aromas of juicy ripe pear, peach, and guava fruits backed by nuances of cream and subtle herbs.  The flavors are pure, ripe, smooth and dry with the peach and pear fruits underlain by a subtly creamy texture plus floral and spice tones.  Try it with fresh salmon or a tomato-basil salad and savor its rich but still refreshing style.
