Raptor Ridge was founded in 1995 by Scott and Annie Schull, who started from their barn in Hillsboro. They cleared an old cherry orchard to create their 27-acre estate vineyard and opened their winery on the estate vineyard site in 2009. Raptor Ridge’s 2020 Pinot Gris, created in an Alsatian style, is deep straw-gold in the glass with aromas of citrus blossom, kiwi, pear, peach, lemon curd, and wet slate. It is polished with balanced minerality yet vibrant and energetic with an appealing spritz, a core of perfumed fruit, and a long, mouthwatering finish.
