Compton Family Wines Pinot Gris
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Varietal purity is on display here, offering classic Pinot Gris flavors. Compton Pinot Gris has character and complexity.
- The Compton Pinot Gris is produced in Willamette Valley, Oregon.
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Gris
Elaboration: Compton Pinot Gris was all stainless steel fermented. Compton Pinot Gris is made with 100% Willamette Valley dry farmed grapes from Compton Family Farms, Newton Creek Vineyard, Hoot & Howl Vineyard, Lodsdon Ridge, and Mary’s Peak Vineyard.
Tasting Notes: Classic Pinot Gris flavors with hints of citrus. pear, peach, and a touch of almond. Elegant texture on a broad mid-palate is set off by crisp natural acids. A lovely hint of lemon oil accents both the scent and the flavor. Creamy toasted lees and soft honey notes lead to lingering flavors filling your palate.
