Oregon Pinot Gris

Oregon Pinot Gris Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: The 2005 Oregon Pinot Gris captures the essence of this cool climate varietal. This is a fresh, crisp wine with bountiful fruit tones in the nose. Freshly cut pear and bright citrus aromas fill the glass. The mouthfeel is lush with grapefruit and starfruit components, a result of carefully blending fruit from Oregon's Rogue and Willamette Valleys. The intense fruit flavors of the wine lend viscosity to the structure and acidity of the mid-palate for a long-lasting finish. Enjoy this wine with spicy foods, Asian cuisine, or as an aperitif.
