2008 Umpqua Valley Pinot Gris

The Reustle - Prayer Rock Vineyards Pinot Gris from the 2008 vintage is a delightful white wine hailing from the Umpqua Valley, a region celebrated for its diverse microclimates and exceptional varietal expressions. This Pinot Gris showcases a medium body, providing a wonderfully balanced mouthfeel that is both smooth and refreshing. Its acidity is bright and lively, invigorating the palate while enhancing the wine's fruity character. Expect prominent notes of stone fruit, particularly peach and apricot, complemented by hints of citrus zest that add a touch of vibrancy. This wine is bone dry, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a crisp, clean finish that lingers elegantly.

With its rugged landscape and cool Pacific climate, Oregon is one of the world's great modern Pinot Noir regions. The Willamette Valley produces an impressive array of styles across its six AVAs, from fragrantly fruity to lush and complex. This is thanks to a range of terroirs that are eerily similar to Burgundy's in France (Oregon even lies on the same latitude). In fact, major Burgundy producers have set up in Oregon to make wine, including Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. And it is not just Pinot Noir found in Oregon. Other benchmark grapes include Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling; Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah thrive in the southern AVAs.
