Occasional Wine Note: It may come as a surprise but Pinot Gris is actually the top grape produced in Oregon. This is a great representation of a well-balanced Pinot Gris, highlighted by ripe pear, lemon-lime, and stone fruit, with hints of nuts and mint that really compliment well. This is an easy drinker and you will quickly find that your glass empty. Delicious and at a great price.

Aged for 10 months in French oak of an undisclosed age, this medium-bodied Pinot Noir feels round and smooth in the mouth, with ample tannins supporting gobs of dark raspberry and sweet mulberry fruit flavors. The wine's aromatics are a wall of dark fruit accented by chalk and orange pekoe tea.

This generous version is full of energy, with appealing raspberry flavors laced with blueberry, toasty spice and vanilla tones that zip along the finish. Drink now through 2030.
