Emerson Vineyards, Pinot Gris, 2007
We just got the latest releases from Emerson Vineyards, so this will be part of a group of reviews. Emerson is located in Monmouth, just to the south of Salem. Monmouth was a dry town until 2002, so it's sort of ironic to be making wine there. Emerson ... 		Jun 1, 2009

Duck Pond, Pinot Grigio, 2007
We've been off our usual game lately. With the water damage to our condo, and the fact that a four year old in preschool means we're perpetually sick -- it's been hard to review our usual volume of wine. Hotels and dislocation are not conducive for wine ... 		Apr 5, 2009

Arcane Cellars, Reserve, Pinot Gris, 2007

Arcane Cellars, 'Willamette Valley', Pinot Gris, 2007
It's been a rough and tumble year for us. Our 4 year old started preschool and we all have been sick ever since. Then, our condo was flooded by the upstairs neighbor's broken hot water heater. Which isn't to complain so much as to explain the lack of ... 		Mar 20, 2009

Daedalus Cellars, Pinot Gris, 2006
Most often we drink red (as you can read), but for the last few nights we've been drinking white wine (it all started with a Pouilly Fume). I've had this particular bottle in the back of the fridge for a long time, and I decided to twist that metal cap ... 		Mar 11, 2009

Crater Lake, (Eola Hills Wine Cellars), Pinot Gris, 2007
I took a family fishing trip to Diamond Lake over the Labor Day weekend. For dinner one of the nights we went to the Crater Lake Lodge -- which looks over the magnificent Crater Lake. It is the deepest lake in North America, and arguably the most ... 		Sep 7, 2008

Capitello, Willamette Valley, Pinot Gris, 2007
The nose was an amalgam of pear, apricot, spearmint, peaches, rosemary, cantaloupe, but most distinctly: lemon. The taste was an interesting mix of fruits and vegetables: pea pods, eggplant and lemon and cantaloupe. The finish was strongly citrus -- ... 		Jul 26, 2008

Erath, Pinot Gris, 2007
The nose has some sort of a barnyard smell, along with honey dew melon (or maybe cantaloupe), peaches, cucumber, and cilantro. The flavors include lemon, pear, and hints of sage. It's slightly sweet and sour, and thin. For me, it tastes a little like a ... 		Jul 12, 2008

Lange, Willamette Valley, Pinot Gris, 2006
The nose is pear and citrus -- and a bit of granny smith apple. Slight melon flavors, and a subtle tangerine. Pear and lime are predominant. Just a hint of effervescence. It's Oregon Pinot Gris, so it's light and fresh, without much spice nor any ... 		Jul 3, 2008

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 ... 		Jun 30, 2008

Willakenzie, Late Harvest Pinot Gris, 2006
Smell: Pear, grape, mandarin and floral (Lilacs and Nasturtiums). Definitely sweet. Taste: Big honey with a hint of peach and fig. Like a baked fruit tart--mellowed-out and melded together. Finish: Honey--but not sickly sweet. Like sucking on a fresh ... 		Nov 18, 2007
