With residual sugar at 15 grams/L, this definitely drinks off dry. The fruit is spicy and bright, rounded off with a lick of honey. Apple, pear, lemon verbena and even a suggestion of breakfast tea come through.

Tart pineapple fruit, with a lipsmacking lick of lemon meringue pie, a hint of candied orange peel and a slice of apricot all work together in this juicy and complex wine. The concentration is impressive, and the balance keeps it interesting all the way through a long finish.

Slightly sweet, with strong pineapple flavors, this lightly candied style brings in streaks of apricot and orange also. It's penetrating and distinctive, with lush fruit flavors that set it apart from most other Oregon Pinot Gris.

Intensely aromatic, with lovely accents of pine needle, grapefruit and mint. An elegant, complex and vividly spicy wine, with all elements proportionate, and showing excellent depth and structure. The flavors of fruit and forest just keep unfolding through a lingering finish.——P.G.(10/1/2011)—— 93

9 Spicy and showing some sweetness around the edges, presumably from a bit of residual sugar. Lovely fruit is the highlight here, textural and luscious with flavors of pears and apricots. Vivid acidity cuts through the fleshy core.——P.G.(8/1/2011)—— 91
