  Popped and poured. Intense apricot aroma. Pear flavor leads, with subtle elements of lichee and stone fruit underneath. Citrus and minerals in the finish. Beguiling, subtle, some complexity, good backbone. Excellent wine, great QPR.

  Purchase this after tasting with Marcus at his place in McMinnville. For pinot gris, this is an excellent wine. More stone fruit than citrus but with some nice acidity. In addition to the fruit there's some nice spice along with a tongue coating waxy texture. This is a great alternative for the unoaked chard lovers and a fantastic QPR.

  Tasting at Goodfellow (McMinnville, Oregon): Winery tasting. Full nose of waxy, round orchard fruit. Palate has round fruit with bright, chewy acid. This is surprisingly lush with great body to match the acidic verve. Intense across the palate. Very well done.

  This stuff is a wonderful bargain as a spring and early summer wine. Or even warm fall days. It has a nose of pear and not-ripe melon and the pear comes through on the palate with slightly riper melon notes on the early finish. The acidity is restrained, leaving a smooth mouth feel. It is more rich than I anticipated with a moderate to moderate/short finish that just fades beautifully with no discordant notes. Tasted blind I would have thought it to be a mostly-steel tank fermented chardonnay - some neutral wood maybe. For $20 bucks, this is hard to beat.
