| 2002 ElvenGlade Pinot Gris "Owner's Reserve" Yamhill County, Oregon WB Rating: 87 Alcohol by volume: 13.5% Price at time of purchase: $12.00 (Current release) Type: Italian-style White Principal varietal(s): 100% Pinot Gris This wine, produced in extremely small quantities and raised in oak, is an interesting contrast to the non-oaked ElvenGlade Pinot Gris. The oak manifests itself in toasty, creamy notes in the aromas and flavors, and more of a spicy apple than citrus fruit component. Much oilier in mouth feel than the crisp non-oaked version. The tasting group was divided about evenly in terms of preference between the oaked and non-oaked versions. It will be interesting to taste this wine in another year or so when the oak has had time to resolve itself, but it's a tasty wine already. - WB Team 2003-05-23 [Back] |
