St. Innocent, Vitae Springs Vineyard, Pinot Gris, 2006
This was a great wine to drink here in Portland while the weather was so hot. Portland is very mild normally, but this week it hit 101 F after being more miserably cold and wet than usual for the last few months.
Anyway, this wine was quite nice. The nose was lemon! Citrus, and a bit of green apple, pear and peach.
The taste was very much: pear. Slightly buttery. A bit of lemon. Slate. And vegetable: peas, kale and arugula. Kind of spicy -- maybe a bit of lemon grass. Definitely fresh. Just what I wanted for dinner on a warm night!
