Expressive pear aromas are found in the nose of the 2000 Pinot Gris Vitae Springs Vineyard. Satin-textured and light to medium-bodied, it offers lush, lively apple flavors. This excellent value should be consumed over the next 2-3 years. "Regardless of what some may say, 2000 is not a great vintage," announced Mark Vlossak, Saint Innocent's owner and winemaker. "It's good, but not in the same league as 1998 and 1999." Consumers should pay particular attention to Saint-Innocent's offerings. Not only are they some of the finest wines made in Oregon but they are among the most reasonably priced.Tel. (503) 378-1526
