winemaker's notes:

Number 74 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

This pale straw colored Pinot Gris displays generous floral, pear, and tropical fruit aromas. On the palate, this beautifully balanced wine is initially crisp with zesty citrus and granny smith apple flavors that lead into a delightfully bright, honeysuckle and Asian-pear flavored lingering finish.

I would buy this wine again

If you're a fan of white blends like Conundrum and Sokol Blossor Evolution you'll enjoy this wine. A slight hint of sweet and much more fruit than a Pinot Grigio.

I would buy this wine again

Both the 2005 and 2006 vintages are very good. Because of this wine, I am trying other Pinot Gris' in Willamette Valley

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
Organically Grown Grapes
These wines are made from organically grown grapes from vineyards dedicated to sustainable farming.

Collectible wine
