Quick Review... Viridian Pinot Gris

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.

  1. Nice to see an Oregon Pinot Gris reviewed! They are much richer and more complex than most Grigios.

    1. We agree, and were much surprised by this difference.

    1. Viridian is distributed in NY by Aviva Vivo. Ask your local wineshop to carry this wine (and other wines by small to medium-sized producers.
