Good but not great. There many other Oregon Pinot Gris that are more interesting for the same price. Does have a crisp clean profile, but aromatics are not as complex. Has mild floral and melon notes on nose with some mild pear on palate.

Very light greenish yellow color. Grapefruit and pineapple on the nose and palate. Not acidic at all. Crisp when cool, but felt flat in the mouth when it warmed up. Easy drinking and went well with our asian dish, but all in all, a very simple wine. Good for what it is. 86pts. Aloha!

This is a situation where an 87 is a compliment and not an insult. This was clean, fresh, easy to drink and a good start to Thanksgiving dinner. It doesn't have layers but it's good at what it does.

Almost Gewurztraminer like nose showing grapefruit, baking spice, a touch of orange rind and pineapple. Suprisingly dry on the palate with dominating grapefruit notes. Easy drinking, nicely balanced and affordable. Its a little light for my taste and a touch non-descript, but tasty enough that I would buy again at the price. I hoped for a bit more after hearing how good this vintage is supposed to be.

Got this bottle through the quarterly cellar club shipment. Very light color, body & taste. Nice wine, but I'm not a fan of Pinot Gris in general. So light, it lacks personality. I prefer wines with more character. Sauvignon Blanc is better for easy drinking with all it's citrus overtones.

Just a pleasant drinking wine. Some sparkle and fruit notes. Delicious with cheese before dinner.

Very nice Pinot Gris at a good price point. Nice light fruit flavors and not too acidic.

Pinot Gris with delicious fruit forward yet elegant finish. Honey flavors. Had at a restaurant with fish and was paired well. Will have again.

Crisp, extremely light color; tart, mineral flavors; missing a bit of the fruit and balance of the previous vintage

Bright, simple nose. Refreshing fruit, balanced nicely acidically. Fine quality for the price.
