Surrounded by orchards and farms, Mt. Hood Winery is owned by the 6th generation of the Bickford family. This Pinot Gris is from the family’s 22 acre vineyard, and it well represents the Columbia Gorge AVA which is now home to 30 or more small wineries. A medium weight, well-balanced Pinot Gris, the 2020 offers distinctive aromas of spicy pear and crisp apple fruit. It has a pleasing smooth mouthfeel and bright flavors with a hint of minerals in the finish. Well-balanced and ready to drink now. Enjoying a large, loyal wine club, Mt. Hood also makes a surprisingly attractive 2020 White Pinot Noir. Winery visitors can enjoy a dramatic view of Mount Hood.
