Review:

Wine and Spirits Magazine - 93 Points - Generous and very pretty in its scent of lemon blossom and minerals, this wine’s mild leesy note emerges with air. The leaner flavors of key lime and lemon create tension with broader apple notes, while the wine’s mineral underpinning keeps everything on point.

2009 Vintage Tasting Notes

"This racy Gris tastes like biting into a crisp apple. It leads with scents of camellia blossoms, elegant and cool. Its green apple flavors show impressive energy and drive, with a talc-like texture and a fine, dusty stone finish that lasts. Ideal with roast pork and herbed potatoes." This is the last of the vintage, so stock up now!" - Wine & Spirits 93 points

"Medium to light weight, with good acidity. Lovely flavors of nectarine, melon, apple and a nice background note of spice. What started out as an all pinot noir facility, has now opened up to bring white wines into the line-up, and good thing, because the Benton-Lane, 2006 Willamette Valley Pinot Gris is outstanding. Wonderfully aromatic with all those typical notes of melon, peach and spice." So says Robert Mayfield of the Statesman Herald.

This pale straw colored Pinot Gris displays generous floral, citrus, pear, and tropical fruit aromas. On the palate this beautifully balanced wine is silky and supple with citrus, floral, mango and other tropical fruit flavors. The delightful citrus, mango finish is long and extremely clean.-- the winery
