A great value wine, waxy mouth feel with a heavy notes of pineapple and banana flavoring. I would believe you if you told me this was grown in California vs Oregon. Super extracted and ripe. Not a bad thing, per se, but it shows exactly what price point this is made for.

2015 Vintage- A good entry level Oregon PG, too much fruit and a little too aggressive on the palate, not as refined as others.

Granny Smith apple, lime, hay and slate. Good acidity and balance.

Glinting straw yellow and laden with aromatics of d'Anjou pear, lemon curd, petrichlor, lily of the valley, and a lilting top note of cinnamon stick. The 2015 Pike Road Pinot Gris is winsome and engaging with a light crisp palate that offers almost as much complexity as the nose. Honeydew melon emerge on the back palate, lightly tinged in minerality and spice. This is a really nice example of an Oregon Pinot Gris. 13.5% ABV | Sample

While counting and reorganizing wine today, i discovered the 2015 Pike Road Wines Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley ($15, sample) while looking for something to pair with a pork chop, which works well with both white and softer, fruitier red wines. I tasted this and holy moly! This wine reminds me why I should seek out more Pinot Gris (after I've made room in my closet). Its luscious aromas and flavors of tropical fruits, sour apple, lime, and spice, are just what I needed.

Juicy, citrus, tropical. Easy choice for summer drinking.

This wine doesn’t have the cool climate refinement I expect from Oregon wines, but it’s still quite quaffable! Honeysuckle and lemon with a waxy mouth feel, good for the $.
Elk cove’s second label, cheap and cheerful!
