Eyrie Pinot Gris Estate 09

Eyrie was the first winery to plant Pinot gris in Oregon.

“Eyrie Pinot gris, bright and bracing, is marked by a mineral-tinged complexity rarely found in dry wines made from this variety. The first successful American version, it sets a quality standard in Oregon and beyond.” –Paul Lukacs, The Great Wines of America: The Top 40 Vintners, Vineyards & Vintages.

Eyrie Pinot gris is world famous. In 1970 Eyrie Vineyards released the first Pinot gris from Oregon. The rest is history. Try the wine that started it all! Medium body and balanced acidity make Eyrie's Pinot gris a versatile food wine; Lett's favorite match for his Pinot gris is salmon, which shares the wines slightly velvety texture and subtle flavors, both highlighted by the wine's hints of vanilla and cedar.

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

"The 2006 Eyrie pinot gris has luscious fruit aromas and flavors that remind me of tree fruits such as pear as well as a flavor melange of tropical fruits. Try the wine with most seafood, including salmon, crab and halibut, as well as pork and chicken off the grill." - Seattle PI

In 1970 David Lett produced the first Pinot gris in the U.S., and his wine remains the acknowledged benchmark for the increasingly popular varietal in America. Pinot gris is capable of a wide range of stylistic possibilities, and though Lett avoids comparing his wines,when pressed he says his Pinot gris most closely resembles Alsatian versions.
