winemaker's notes:

Crisp, bright flavors have always been the hallmark of Adelsheim Pinot gris. In this 2008, you'll find hints of papaya, apples and pears. It pulls off the difficult feat of providing a gentle creaminess that lends a rich, mouthfilling texture and long finish, yet still impressing as a wine that's crisp and clean. Try it with mildly spicy foods (such as ceviche), not so mildly spicy Thai cuisine, rich fish entrees, and even classic oven-roasted fowl.

alcohol by volume: 13.8%

critical acclaim:

"Adelsheim lays claim to being the third winery in the country to make Pinot Gris; this is their 25th vintage. It’s a fine effort, beautifully rendered with crisp, spicy pear and melon fruit. Medium-bodied, focused and long."

rating (9/28/2010):

I give it 5 stars for it's category - Oregon Pinot Gris. It delivers exactly what you want from Pinot Gris - ripe stone fruit, a touch of spice and a creamy texture that is still crisp & dry. Not sweet at all, but very ripe. Finishes with clean acidity.
