Erath, Oregon (United States) Pinot Gris 2007

($14): Richer than Erath’s Pinot Blanc, their Pinot Gris has nuances of apricots, peaches and other stone fruits.  Vibrant acidity keeps it fresh, beautifully balanced, and carries the flavors into an extended finish.  It is neither a vapid ‘Pinot Grigio’ nor a heavy and overdone ‘Pinot Gris.’ Erath has struck a beautiful middle ground. 90 Michael Apstein Nov 25, 2008
