Vista Hills 2014 Pinot Gris Rosé (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Pinot Gris
Variety: Rosé Oregon
Winery: Vista Hills / Willamette Valley

This Pinot Gris is fermented on the skins, then aged in neutral oak for a year-and-a-half. It’s a dusty rose in hue, and its tart rhubarb fruit is speckled with peppery spice. The time on skins seems to have amped up the tannins past optimal balance. This is a one-of-a-kind style of Pinot Gris.
