Cedar & Salmon Pinot Gris 2017

2017 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris is perfumed with stone fruit aromas like nectarine, peach, and apricot. A touch of lime oil adds to the alluring aromas. This wine is crisp on the palate with hints of lemon rind and then opens up to a lovely mix of exotic fruits like kiwi fruit, mango, and guava. The finish is crisp, dry and refreshing.

This wine is fresh and mineral-like. Its bright citrus aroma and flavor pairs it beautifully with freshly-steamed wild clams accented with mild chili peppers. An easy-drinking wine in a lightly fruity style, this pushes no boundaries, but delivers clean flavors of apple and peach. Taste carefully and you may detect a streak of lemon custard sneaking through the finish.
