US, OR, Williamette Valley, Viridian Estate Grown Pinot Gris 2009
++ // Crisp // Green Apple, Citrus, Stone // Green Apple, Ripe Peach, Grass // Medium
The wine was complex and layered. So crisp it was almost effervescent, the layers of flavor washed over the tongue in waves; the bite of a tart green apple, followed by a grassy body, with a long finish of almost over-ripe peach.
Nice to see an Oregon Pinot Gris reviewed! They are much richer and more complex than most Grigios.
ReplyDeleteWe agree, and were much surprised by this difference.
