Almond cream and heavily buttered bread aromas are found in the nose of the 2004 Pinot Gris. Medium-bodied and fresh, this satiny wine is pure, suave, well-crafted, and long in the finish. Its almond-laced flavor profile is seamless and immensely pleasing. Drink it over the next 2 years. www.adelsheim.com; tel. (503) 538-3652

A little bit of spritz livens the mouthfeel. This is very light, with herb and grass and tart green apple flavors. A good quaffing wine, not big but clean and refreshing.——P.G.(2/1/2006)—— 87
