2003 PINOT GRIS

2003 PINOT GRIS Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: 2175 cases produced. With more body than Italian style Pinot grigio, and less weight than Pinot gris from Alsace, Bethel Heights' style of Pinot gris is a food-friendly alternative to Chardonnay. Fruit from several vineyards in the Willamette Valley provide brightness and purity of fruit, fruit from the warmer climate of the Rogue Valley adds lush, floral qualities to this wine. The wine is fermented cold in stainless steel and finished, without malolactic fermentation, almost dry with 0.4% residual sugar. "Yellow plums and hints of apricots are intermingled with white flowers in the aromatic profile of the 2003 Pinot Gris. Soft, satin-textured, and expressive, it displays a medium-bodied personality awash in ripe white as well as yellow fruits. A good value." (87) Wine Advocate
