Boedecker Cellars 2007 Old Vine Pinot Gris

Price $16

Old vine is a loose term; here it signifies vines about 20 years of age. Considering that Pinot Gris has been planted in Oregon for almost twice that long, that seems like a bit of a stretch. Nonetheless, a fine effort, mixing pear-flavored fruit with baking spices and brioche, giving it a pastry-like set of flavors. Deep and penetrating, with a long and lively finish. — P.G. (7/1/2009)
