Reviews and Ratings

Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Offers citrus and pear on the nose with some crisp green apple and white peach on the palate.
Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Deep golden yellow color with a powerful nose of pear, apricot, honey dew and honey.

The palate is fresh, rich and very long.

This off-dry wine will be good match Tempura shrimp with spicy mayonnaise, Oriental dishes in general.

Serve it at 8-10 degrees.

Ready to drink but can be aged 5-6 years.
This Oregonian white wine is made form Pinot Gris grapes, the state's signature white wine grape. Pair with crab legs. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
