Emerson 2015 Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Gris Oregon
Winery: Emerson / Willamette Valley

A pale copper color, this is not a rosé, but it shows the effect of a cold soak prior to pressing, capturing the light blush color natural to the grape. Smooth and demonstrating suggestions of strawberry, it brings up pear-skin phenolics in the finish, adding texture, length and some sassy bite.
