Pinot Gris Wine

Winemaker Description 

Elk Cove Pinot Gris is hand-harvested from their estate hillside vineyards in the northern Willamette Valley. The 2024 vintage was a winemaker’s dream: well-paced with idyllic conditions for cool climate vineyards. Expect a concentrated, fruit-forward wine with great complexity.

The Willamette Valley has the perfect climate for this delicate cool weather white wine. Elk Cove has enough sunlight and warmth for ripening, but their cool evenings help retain varietal character and prevent over-ripening. They whole-cluster press their Pinot Gris grapes, then ferment the juice at very cool temperatures in small stainless steel tanks. This gentle treatment protects the aromatic qualities and enhances the natural richness of the Pinot Gris grapes, creating their most popular white wine.

The wine's crisp acidity and savory notes make it highly food-friendly, especially with:

• Seafood (grilled fish, oysters, shrimp tacos)

• Thai or Vietnamese cuisine

• Pork tenderloin

• Lightly truffled dishes

• Soft cheeses like Gruyère or Cheddar

Winemaker Description 

The sunlight freely pours in Alsace. The vine rows and their fruit—shielded from stormy weather by the Vosges mountains—capture every ounce, creating a pleasantly perfumed, flowery, bold, modern, classic, totally unique, and ambrosially fascinating wine.

Expert Review - Vintage 2018

Wine Spectator 91 Points | Distinctive and well-done, with a pronounced earthiness sharing the stage with notes of warm apple, quince and candied ginger in this late-release wine. Time has softened the acidity on a supple, savory palate, layering toasted brioche, brine and dried flower petal details. A hint of honey water graces the elegant, well-meshed finish. Drink now through 2028. 19,500 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.

In the nose, this wine is powerful and complex, It develops smoked and toasted aromas, and more particularly aromas of brioche associated to the notes of honey and vanilla. The mouth is frank, round and rich. This wine is perfectly balanced.

Underwood Rosé — Oregon 355ml Can

Underwood is the wine that made canned wine cool — and their Rosé is the one that started it all. Made by Union Wine Company in Oregon, Underwood draws from the diverse palette of vineyards and wine-growing regions the state has to offer, blending them into something fresh, fun, and genuinely delicious. The winemaker calls it the perfect wine for “action-lounging” — and honestly, that’s exactly right.

The blend is three-quarters Pinot Gris for body and freshness, with a dose of Muscat for floral pop and a dash of Pinot Noir for color. Fruit is harvested on the riper end of the spectrum, destemmed with a range of skin contact times depending on the source, then slowly cold-fermented at 50–55°F for a month or more. Fermentation is halted at an average of 4.5 g/L residual sugar, leaving the wine lively, juicy, and just off-dry. Fresh strawberry, ruby grapefruit, and apricot on the nose and palate, with a crisp, clean finish.
