- St Innocent Pinot Gris Vitae Springs Vyd Willamette 2011 Product #26628 (In Stock)
-
-
A very fine vintage for this always popular Pinot Gris from Mark Vlossak. Mark tries for an Alsace-styled Pinot Gris, blending richness with a dry, crisp, finish. The 2011 is more concentrated and expressive than last year's 2010, with aromas of apricot, peach blossom, passion fruit and a touch of spice. In the mouth it's dry and bright with notes of pear, apricot, lime and hints of honey and toast. Finishes dry, and clean with bright peach flavors lingering nicely. Great with a wide range of meals and an elegant choice for Holiday parties.
- Left Coast Cellars Pinot Gris The Orchard 2011 Product #25938 (In Stock)
-

Left Coast Cellars' Luke McCollom makes wines with big flavors and rich textures, and that certainly includes this Pinot Gris. Aroams of ripe pear and a touch of pineapple lead to a creamy palate featuring crunchy pear and citrus fruit and a hint of cream. A creamy, well-concentrated, wine that gets a lift of juicy citrus and green pineapple on the crisp finish. Very yummy.
- Cristom Pinot Noir Willamette Mt. Jefferson 2010 375ml Product #26914 (In Stock)
-
-
Another winner from one of Oregon's best. As always, a bit of whole-cluster fruit adds complexity, as does 23 months in barrel (about 25% new). Lovely.
"Light, bright red. Red berry and floral scents are complemented by cinnamon and black tea. Racy and light on its feet, offering vibrant redcurrant and strawberry flavors and a touch of bitter herbs. Finishes tangy and lucid, leaving spice and floral notes behind."International Wine Cellar 90 points
- Elk Cove Pinot Gris Willamette Valley 2011 Product #25793 (In Stock)
-
-
A long-time staff and customer favorite, Elk Cove's Pinot Gris is always about ripe pear and apple fruit, subtle acacia flowers, and juicy lime acidity. At once creamy and juicy, this remains one of the most reliable - and delicious - Oregon Pinot Gris wines we know!
- St Innocent Pinot Blanc Freedom Hill Vyd Willamette 2011 Product #26888 (In Stock)
-
-
Owner/winemaker Mark Vlossak created this wine so he'd have something perfect to drink with fresh Dungeness crab, and while it does other things well, it's really brilliant with seafood. Aromas of pineapple, white peach and apricot lead to a fresh, vibrant, mouthful of white fruits, spice and mineral. Round and minerally textured, it finishes with just the right squirt of acidity. Ceviche, shellfish, or even fish tacos all work beautifully.
- J. Christopher Sauvignon Blanc Willamette Valley 2011 Product #26444 (In Stock)
-
-
If you could grow and make dry Sauvignon Blanc along the steep, slatey, hills of Germany’s Mosel River, this is what it would taste like. Lot's of acidity here - just how Jay Somers likes it! - so pair with cheeses and salads. Redolent with pepeprmint, citrus, and passion fruit aromas and flavors, it's very bright and mouthwateringly juicy. Notes of slate and lemon drop come up on the long, zesty, finish. Powerful and very, very, good.
- Biggio Hamina Pinot Noir Zenith Vyd 2009 Product #26310 (In Stock)
-
-
Todd Hamina’s Zenith Vineyard Pinot takes the basic structure of his Willamette Valley 2009 and adds more concentrated fruit, complexity, and polish. The excitement here is the contrast of the powerful structure and the ethereal weight and flavors. As IWC says, “power and vivacity.” This will be outstanding with duck or salmon right now and get earthier and richer in the cellar.
"All Dijon clone 777; 45% whole clusters and 20% new oak. Bright red. Intense, spice-accented aromas of strawberry, raspberry and rhubarb, with a floral overtone. Juicy and precise, offering vibrant red fruit flavors that pick up smokiness and depth with air. Closes on a bitter cherry note, with impressive cut and lingering floral character. I really like this wine's precision and its blend of power and vivacity."International Wine Cellar 92 points
- Ken Wright Pinot Noir Shea Vyd 2011 375ml Product #26569 (In Stock)
-
-
Wine Advocate has suggested that Shea is the Willamette Valley’s one potential “superstar” vineyard and Ken makes the benchmark wine from this famous site. Ken uses fruit from three different blocks in the vineyard, two planted to Dijon 114 and one to Dijon 777 clones. Shea Vineyard gives black/red fruit - especially blueberry - but with more spice and earth than other Yamhill-Carlton wines. Always a fine marriage of ripe fruit and juicy, fresh, texture, this usually wants a few years in cellar to show its best. Ken pretty much made the reputation of this vineyard, and it's always one of his most powerful, concentrated, wines.
