Duck Pond Pinot Gris 2018

Fleshy pear fruit carries this appealing wine, lightly spiced and hinting at freshly picked green herbs. It's not quite as complex as the previous vintage, but nonetheless a delicious wine and a fine value.

With exceptional texture and detail, this young wine transcends the vast majority of similarly-priced Oregon Pinot Gris. Grapefruit, melon and nectarine flavors are there in abundance, with highlights of lemon zest and defining acidity.
