Lemelson 2012 Tikka’s Run Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Tikka’s Run
Variety: Pinot Gris Oregon
Winery: Lemelson / Willamette Valley

Low-yielding vines cropped down to 1.5 tons/acre contribute to the length and power of this tart, lip-smacking Pinot Gris. There’s a delicious mineral underpinning to the subtle flavor mix of Asian pear, apple and lemon. A nice hint of tarragon also comes into focus.
