About our 2022 Pinot Gris:

On the Nose: The wine gracefully incorporates blonde tones with lucidity in the glass. Aromas of guava, passion fruit and honeysuckle balance with a natural minerality from the local terroir.

On the Palate: The fresh flavors of golden apple, pear and melon invite the consumer to experience in tandem both aroma and taste. The perceived sweetness and natural acidity show a balance to the wine with a rich, mid-palate and lingering finish.

Food Pairing: Enjoy this refreshing dry white wine as an aperitif or with a variety of food pairings including Oregon Dungeness crab, grilled salmon, baked white fish with basil tapenade. Seasonal salads and medium cheeses.
