Flavor brings balanced acidity with some dryness from alcohol on a short finish.

Fresh, crips and lively, with hints of citrus and stone. (5263 views) | | | Tasted by Mwash35 on 4/23/2011 & rated 89 points: Notes of grapefruit. Very refreshing. (3573 views) | | | Tasted by The Kokopelli on 4/13/2011 & rated 87 points: Discovering Wine: The Acrobat Pinot Gris is a light-bodied, pale straw colored wine. The nose is very closed, yielding up some slight florals over time. Decent acidity and minerality in the mouth, with tastes of citrus, nectarine, white peach and pear. The short finish had white peach and white grapefruit. This style of Pinot Gris has much more appeal than the lemon wedge in ice water Italian style. However, this is not the best example of this type of style. It saw no oak, but was bottled 100% sur lie. (3793 views) | | | Tasted by mountaintj5 on 2/26/2011 & rated 84 points: Middle of the road wine. It lacked flavor and crispness. (3693 views) | | | Tasted by Eric on 11/27/2010 & rated 84 points: Lots if cantaloupe and white pepper notes. Clean, juicy, faintly sweet. Just keep it chilled. (5385 views) | | | Tasted by wineshaman on 11/21/2010 & rated 88 points: Citrus nose, crisp, fresh and lively on the palate with hints of lemon and lime. Had this with an incrediable late afternoon lunch at Amuse, at the musem of fine arts in Richmond, VA. Lump crab cake, chicken stuffed with wild rice and horseradish slaw. Great combination, great fall view.Highly recomended wine and restauraunt.

Wines made from the Pinot gris vary greatly and are dependent on the region and wine making style they are from. Alsatian Pinot gris are medium to full bodied wines with a rich, somewhat floral bouquet. They tend to be spicy in comparisons with other Pinot gris. While most Pinot gris are meant to be consumed early, Alsatian Pinot gris can age well. German Pinot gris are more full-bodied with a balance of acidity and slight sweetness. In Oregon the wines are medium bodied with a yellow to copper-pink color and aromas of pear, apple, and/or melon. In California, the Pinot gris are more light bodied with a crisp, refreshing taste with some pepper and arugula notes. The Pinot grigio style of Italy is a light-bodied, often lean wine that is light in color with sometimes spritzy flavors that can be crisp and acidic. Although this wine can be very sweet, it will begin to lose its acidity when it is nearly ripe.
Pinot gris is considered an "early to market wine" that can be bottled and out on the market within 4–12 weeks after fermentation.

Tarte tatinUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Oregon* |
