winemaker's notes:
Aromas of fresh pear, peach and apricot are followed by undertones of melon, green apple, lemon zest and orange blossom. The peach and pear notes carry through to the flavor profile complemented by tropical fruit tones of pineapple, papaya and kiwi. Rich and smooth in the mouth with a mouthwatering finish, the wine will be an excellent companion for a wide variety
of foods including smoked salmon, grilled halibut or Ahi tuna with mango salsa, chicken and pork, blue cheeses, Asian fare, fish tacos or a vegetable curry. Enjoy now or cellar for 2 to 3 years. Serve moderately chilled.

critical acclaim:
"Leesy and bright, this forward gris leads with aromas of ripe apple and peach, accented by a bit of nutmeg spice. It's flavors are bright and broad at once; the texture is mouthfilling and rich, yet the wine retains a fresh, focused line from lively acidity. "

Wine & Spirits
"Lovely pale gold hue. Finely tuned scents of pear, apple and crisp green grape. Crisp and fruity with delicate flavors of pear and a hint of peach framed by ample acidity. Long, satisfying finish."

The Wine News
"The 2008 Pinot Gris Estate Grown is a bit more concentrated. It features aromas and flavors of tangerine zest, apricot, and white peach leading to a dry, crisp, flavorful effort that should also drink well for another 2 years."

Wine Spectator
"WillaKenzie's Pinot Gris is fleshier and rounder than the elegant, delicious Pinot Blanc, and makes a fine companion wine. The soft entry tastes of Asian pear, yellow apple and a bit of green pineapple. It firms up as it rolls across the palate, with excellent concentration and focus. "
