This mouthwatering Pinot Gris will be your summer go to wine. The aromas start off with papaya, Anjou pear, green apple, minerals, and flint. The aromas carry over into the palate and also pop with mandarin orange, passion fruit, and a crisp acidity that lingers for a long, refreshing finish. Pair with Chilean sea bass topped with mango salsa, pork rillette with sliced pears, citrus grilled chicken, or just as an aperitif for starting off a party. - A barrel-fermented Pinot Gris with fruit sourced from the exclusive Guadalupe Vineyard in the Dundee Hills, it is reminiscent of those from Alsace and very rare in Oregon, this wine displays ripe fruits, a full, round mouth-feel and a lasting finish. This is a full bodied Pinot Gris that has a lush long finish that is bright and rich at the same time. Ripe pear, star fruit and a hint of citrus start you off, transitioning into floral tones of freesia, hint of toasted pecans, and ripe apple that make for an easy finish. Enjoy with spicy dishes, savory ham leek potato soup, Risotto, roasted vegetables, Thai cuisine, or holiday meals.
- Beautiful red color, great nose, great body and long on the palate with enough fruit to just sit there and enjoy.
- Showcases aromas of red bing cherry, mingled with floral and citrus tones and hints of barrel spice and forest floor. Entering the palate with both focus and energy and revealing a firm but rounded texture this wine shows good flesh with core flavors of cherry and raspberry shaded with hints of barrel toast. Well supported by a firm underlying framework of well integrated tannin and a brisk acidity this wine finishes cleanly and succinctly and should benefit from short term cellaring. Consume over the next 3 to 5 years.
- Opulent and age worthy this Pinot Noir features dark cherry aromas with floral tones, sandalwood and shades of toasty oak. This wine has broadest entry and softest mouth feel of all our cuvees, maintaining great focus as it moves across the palate.
- Adriane Pinot Noir exhibits all the hallmarks of this unique growing season, marrying the fruit intensity associated with a warmer vintage over a fully mature and elegant structure more often associated with a cooler growing season. Pungent aromas of ripe dark cherry, sandalwood and barrel toast, mingled with hints of forest floor and savory notes emanate from the nose.
- There is a wonderful brightness to the texture and palate of this wine. It is silky smooth with an incredibly long finish. A truly special wine.
