Foris Pinot Gris '22

A benchmark Oregon Pinot Gris from the Siskiyou Mountains’ foothills. Pale straw with silver reflections, it offers a nose of ripe pear, wet flint, and a whisper of honeysuckle. The palate is crisp yet textured, with flavors of yellow apple, almond skin, and a saline finish that Vinous (91 pts) calls "Alsatian in structure." Whole-cluster pressed and fermented cool (58°F) to retain freshness. Perfect with Dungeness crab cakes or lemon-butter scallops (drink now–2025).
