Aged Pinot Gris is awesome! I am going to let my 2008 & 2009 sit until 2015 and see how they come out.
Deep golden straw color. Nose of pears, orange blossoms and honey suckle. Fruit is crisp Bartlett pears, honey, citrus notes and vanilla notes wrapped around the minerality. A wonderful clean but full bodied mouthfeel. A wonderful wine!

(Cristom Pinot Gris Estate, Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon) Cristom has consistently produced excellent Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley for many years, but its Pinot Gris from the Emilia estate vineyard is a sleeper. More Alsatian than Oregonian in style, this dry, medium-to-full-bodied white features enticing pear, mandarin orange, and lilac aromas, coupled with bright acidity and surprising depth. Hot Picks
