Elk Cove Vineyards 2012 Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley
Great Northwest Invitational Wine Competition award: Best white wine
This is the quintessential Northwest Pinot Gris, and it is perhaps the most consistently outstanding example to come out of Oregon, thanks to second-generation winemaker Adam Campbell. Minerality, lemon, lime and a tiny whiff of pear lead off, followed in the mouth by crisp, mouth-watering acidity and more lemon and lime. The finish departs with a final bit of yellow grapefruit and slate rock in this fine Willamette Valley Pinot Gris.
