Elk Cove Vineyards Estate Pinot Gris 2021
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesFrom vineyards from the Northern Willamette and Yamhill-Carlton, and vines up to 35 years old, this classic Elk Cove Pinot Gris was a whole cluster, fermented and aged in stainless. Plumped with ripe pear and ripe melon and scented with anise and finely rasped spice, this floods the palate with mouthwatering acidity, finishing with a lingering lemon verbena note. Classic for a reason; this PG shows lovely typicity for Willamette.Tasted: 11 November 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:CDN | $34.00 | 750ml | select private retailers |
