With a vibrant white hue, this wine presents a delightful bouquet of fresh pear and crisp green apple, coupled with subtle floral notes that elevate its aromatic profile. On the palate, it is light-bodied and refreshing, offering a bright acidity that invigorates the senses while providing a crisp and clean finish. The fruit intensity is prominent yet balanced, making it a truly food-friendly choice. This wine is bone-dry, allowing its bright fruit characteristics to shine without any residual sweetness, making it an ideal pairing for seafood dishes or light salads. Overall, the Eleven Pinot Grigio is a commendable representation of the varietal, reflecting the artistry of winemaking in the Yakima Valley.

Yakima Valley

Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.
