Winemaker Notes
2009 gave us a slightly warmer than average growing season, punctuated by a very hot spell at harvest. It was a bit of a scramble to get the fruit in ahead of the heat wave, but working around the clock we managed to bring in a crop of fully ripe, yet very fresh and lively tasting Pinot Gris. The resulting wine shows lovely pear and apple
aromas with just a hint of stone fruits. A firm yet broad texture on the palate is framed by the wines natural acidity and the surprisingly long finish shows subtle mineral and spice notes along with Asian pears and quince.

Foris has Pinot Gris dialed in, showcasing the subtle, delicate flavors perhaps closer to Italian Pinot Grigio than other, big, fruity domestic bottlings. The winery location,– in the cool Illinois Valley of southwest Oregon, puts an Alpine twist on the flavors–lemon peel, pineapple, lime, and just a touch of honey. Best Buy.
