Description
Pinot Gris is one of Oregon's great gifts to wine lovers and is a focus for Elk Cove. The estate has vines dating to 1985 - among the oldest in Oregon. This one is hand-harvested from hillside vineyards situated in the north of the Willamette Valley. You can expect a long, balanced wine with juicy melon, pear, apple, tangerine and a refined minerality. It will be great with scallops.

Tasting Notes
Adam Campbell's Pinot Gris is one of Oregon's best, year in and year out. A lush and vivid mix of grapefruit, lemon curd and candied orange peel, this new vintage both surprises and delights. Such complexity is rare in a grape mostly centered around apple and pear flavors - both are here, but in a back seat role. This unique mix is deliciously irresistible. Ranked #10 in Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Wines of 2020. Score - 92. (Paul Gregutt, Wine Enthusiast, Aug. 1, 2020)
