Review:

Aromas include white peach, lemon zest and star fruit. Flavors of citrus, fig, and sea salt exude acidity for a crisp, refreshing finish.

The winery blends Willamette Valley and southern Oregon grapes to get the best of both regions: the bright, fresh acidity of the Willamette Valley with the fullness and weight of Southern Oregon. Delicious wine!

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

The Bethel Heights 2006 Pinot gris was chosen as "Best of Tasting" by the Wall Street Journal on May 30, 2008. Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher said: "Fresh and vibrant, with great melon fruit, but with a sturdy backbone. Fresh tropical fruits at the top, minerals and serious earthiness at the core -- bravo." Note their suggested retail price is $17.

The bottling from Bethel Heights is peachy, spicy and rich, but also perfectly balanced. (Food & Wine)

Fruit from several vineyards in the Willamette Valley provide bright crisp acidity and purity of fruit; fruit from the warmer climate of the Rogue Valley adds lush, floral qualities to this wine. The wine was fermented cold in stainless steel and finished without malolactic fermentation at 0.5% residual sugar. Bottled cork-free to protect its freshness.
