We have had a few pinot gris from the Willamette; on the whole enjoyable wines if nothing exceptional: perhaps not yet rising to the heights of what can be found in Alsace (sweeping generalization). Unlike the previous TN I would not characterize this as dry and tart as I found, as in most pinot gris, just a delicate hint of sweetness. Granted, there is good acidity, a pleasant mouthfeel.

Dry & tart, as would be expected. As with other vintages of this wine, it has a little complexity beneath the surface. Good for sipping. Would be a great food wine when dry/tartness are needed to complement the dish.
