Willakenzie Estate, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Pinot Gris 2018

Dec 4, 2021

By Norm Roby

 Established in 1991, Willakenzie Estate was family-run until being acquired by Jackson Family in 2016.  In recent vintages the Estate Pinot Gris has maintained its position as one of the most reliable food-friendly versions with its purity of fruit and balance.  The 2018 combines aromas of apples and white peach with a backdrop of citrus.  Medium-bodied, it adds a touch of minerality in the flavors and the pleasing texture brings you to a clean finish with decent acidity.  A solid first course restaurant choice kind of Pinot Gris.
