2017 Pinot Gris – 90 points from Wine Enthusiast

2017 Pinot Gris Willamette Valley 

Our 2017 Pinot Gris received an excellent 90 point rating from Wine Enthusiast:

“Popular and widely available, this opens with a scent of guava, and follows with mixed fruit flavors of guava, apricot and bubblegum. It’s forward and palate-pleasing, leaving a light hint of mint at the finish.”- P.G.

This review was published in the October 2018 issue of Wine Enthusiast Magazine and at winemag.com. According to Senior Tasting Director Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast blind tastes wines for review and rates their wines according to a 100 point scale:

Classic 98-100: The pinnacle of quality.
Superb 94-97: A great achievement.
Excellent 90-93: Highly recommended.
Very Good 87-89: Often good value; well recommended.
Good 83-86: Suitable for everyday consumption; often good value.
Acceptable 80-82: Can be employed in casual, less-critical circumstances.
Wines receiving a rating below 80 are not reviewed.
