Here is a rarity among rarities—a Washington Pinot Gris from old vines dating back to the 1970s. Spicy and tart, with New World fruit flavors of melon and pear set in a wine with Old World craftsmanship and sensibilities it's just 12.5% alcohol, bone dry, fully ripened, laden with minerality. Vivid and long, it’s a gem that would be a perfect start to any holiday feast.——P.G.(5/1/2011)—— 90

Very tart and acidic, this is a wine that cries out for oysters. The lemony fruit is highlighted with notes of ginger, celery and a broad mineral streak. Nice complexity for such a low-alcohol (12.4%), high-acid bottle. ——P.G.(6/1/2010)—— 87

This is delicious, from 28-year-old vines at the exceptional Celilo Vineyard in Washington’s Columbia Gorge AVA. Bone dry and dappled with spice, this elegant wine has exceptional mouthfeel and length. It’s crisp, subtle and distinctive. ——P.G.(12/15/2008)—— 89
