Points and Press - 2007 Vintage

Wine & Spirits, June 2008

90 Points, Among Year's 21 Best Pinot Gris & Grigio from International Field of 201: 2007 Pinot gris Willamette Valley
"This youthful gris leads with a brisk scent of citrus, a mildly herbal top-note of celery leaf and a whiff of smoke. Its crisp flavors suggest Texas grapefruit; the firm texture would support poached salmon." - Patrick Comiskey

Top 20 Sips for Spring and Summer: 2007 Pinot gris Willamette Valley
The color is pale straw, but nothing's pallid about this crisp, bracing, elegant wine that will refresh on the most torrid and torpid summer day. It has just a bit of acidity, with flavors hinting at astringent citrus such as grapefruit. If you've been searching for wine to go with Asian food, here's an austere number to pair with the Thai satays, spicy curries and many chile-laden tropical dishes. - Roger Porter
