What a great surprise - this wine is really really good. Surprise only in that I haven't found an Oregon while to like in a while, but this is high quality wine, and at a low price. Fresh and clean aromas of apple and spiced pear, and something mineral. The fruit is complex on the palate and the wine is well balanced, long bitter finish that reminds me of some alsatian Pinot Gris, but this is definitely not alsatian. It's delicious as an Oregon wine, not because it reminds of Alsace. Didn't hold up well overnight, but one cannot have everything for $15.
And actually, the wine I drank was the 2010, not the 2009!

Surprisingly delicious and might have faked me out for a lean chardonnay (in a good way). Very nice fruit and minerality.

Is a good crisp Pinot Gris. I would give it some more time.

Pears and apples. Medium bodied, nice and round. Fun and easy going. 87-88
