Tasted immediately after bottling, the lively mineral and spice-scented 2003 Pinot Gris Vitae Springs Vineyard developed lovely aromatic notes of honey and gingerbread with considerable aeration. A focused, medium-bodied effort, it reveals a silky-textured core of spicy minerals and pears. Short and slightly compressed in the finish (perhaps due to its recent bottling), this fine value is a candidate for drinking over the next 2-3 years. Tel. (503) 378-1526 www.stinnocentwine.com
