Underwood Pinot Gris is composed from fruit sources in the Willamette, Umpqua and Applegate Valleys. The fruit was thoughtfully picked at various intervals in the latter half of September through October to create a blend that is generous with its aromatics and fruit, yet focused, with acidity start to finish.
Bright and refreshing, this crisp and lively selection bursts with aromas of cassis leaf, compressed watermelon, gooseberry, and a hint of candied jalapeño and lemongrass. On the palate, the flavors mirror the aromas, accented by layers of melon, lime-kissed watermelon, and a touch of tropical fruit cup juice, creating a balanced and invigorating experience.
90 Wine Enthusiast A fruity nose where pink grapefruits and peaches run riot is tempered by traces of wet slate and the salt of a Marcona almond. Rich peach cobbler and pear soda flavors are balanced by a yeasty note as well as a decent bit of acidity.
90 James Suckling Notes of pears and white nectarines with dried herbs, lime zest and acacia. Medium-bodied with juicy, citrusy character and a round texture. Crunchy and fresh on the finish.
