Shafer

2014 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris

Erath Shafer 2014 Pinot Gris from the picturesque Willamette Valley is a delightful expression of this renowned varietal. This wine showcases a light-bodied profile, with bright acidity that invigorates the palate, making it refreshing and mouthwatering. Its fruit intensity is pronounced, bursting with flavors of ripe pear, green apple, and a hint of tropical notes, all harmoniously balanced. The wine is bone dry, allowing the fruit character to shine through without any cloying sweetness. With its elegant structure and crisp finish, it is a fantastic choice for various culinary pairings, whether enjoyed with seafood, salads, or light appetizers.

Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
