Ruby Vineyard Pinot Gris

Ruby Vineyard Pinot Gris

WHY WE LOVE IT

  • This Pinot Gris consists of Pinot Gris grown at the Merten & Roya Vineyards. Merten is a 36 year old, 900 foot elevation, own- rooted vineyard in the far north of the Willamette Valley. Roya is an east facing vineyard at 900 foot elevation just a couple of miles from Ruby in the Chehalem Mountains AVA.
  • This is a white wine for warmer months.

Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Gris

Tasting Notes: A cornucopia of various fruit flavors ranging from mandarin and tangerine to grapefruit and pineapple give this wine an otherworldly level of fruit intensity.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND

Ruby Vineyard is a small, vineyard and winery in the Chehalem Mountains of Oregon’s Willamette Valley region. It is owned by the Hendricks family and is located in the Laurelwood District AVA, just west of Portland.

The Hendricks family has deep roots in Oregon. In 1843, Steve Hendricks’ great-great-grandfather, Abijah Hendricks, arrived in Oregon on the first wagon train to brave the Oregon Trail. Abijah’s adventurist spirit lives on in Steve and his wife Flora. Sharing a dream of owning a vineyard and making wine, they have explored every aspect of the winemaking process, from driving a tractor to pouring for guests in the tasting room.
