The aromas of this ripe Pinot Gris are of honey crisp apple and juice Bosc pear, reminding us of classic Oregon white wines crafted decades ago. The precise fruit is matched with balanced tartness and minerality that become richer with every sip. The moderate, yet cool, growing season allowed the grapes ample time to develop these classic flavors without risk of high sugar levels. We harvested the grapes at the very end of the season, creating a well-proportioned and exceptional texture that may just be one of the most exciting white wines that we have made in years.
