  February 28, 2015 - Chilled approximately 1 hour prior to serving. Pours a pale, slightly cloudy gold. On the nose there's asian pear, spices, barrel, chicken broth, and more. One of the most expressive, interesting bouquets I've ever smelled in a white wine. Once you start sipping, your palate explodes in a dazzling wash of citrus rind, baking spice, grass, umami, pear, and more. This was incredibly fresh and vibrant, with acidity for days that worked to balance the richness. A gentle, medium length finish cleaned everything up. One of the best white wines I've had in a long time.

  February 22, 2015 - The Eyrie Vineyards Fiftieth Anniversary Tasting (Portland Art Museum): The nose is magnificent! It mainly smells like a fresh bowl full of caramel corn, somehow doing this without being too heavy. Scents of apple and Asian pear add even more attraction to the experience. It is clean, crisp, and round on the palate. This is on point! Fresh apples and Asian pears show cleanly on the palate. The fruit has a strong sense of purity and depth to it. A touch of dried apple shows as we start in on the finish. Clean and clear acid keeps everything lively, and lasts forever, slowly sinking into the gums on the finish. While the acidity evolves, the great fruit flavors preside on the center of the palate with elegant weight long into the finish. I think this is the best Pinot Gris I've ever tasted!
