Crafted in the Chehalem Mountains AVA of Willamette Valley, this skin-contact white wine delivers an intriguing balance of bright fruit and earthy complexity—perfect for adventurous wine lovers.

Why You’ll Love This Wine:

• Unique Red Wine Character: Unlike typical Pinot Gris, extended skin contact enriches this vintage with red fruit aromas and savory spice notes, offering a bold twist on a classic white.
• Versatile Serving: Enjoy slightly chilled (cellar temperature) to highlight its vibrant acidity or at room temperature to deepen its earthy undertones.
