Wine Advocate, 94 Points 

"The 2021 Estate Pinot Gris is savory and expressive, offering aromas of mushroom powder, apple pie, lilac and flint and opening to honeyed bass tones as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with honeyed, nutty fruit framed by rounded acidity, and it finishes long and pleasantly grippy." 

James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Attractive nose of chopped apples, spiced pears, honeysuckle, cloves, white pepper and honey. Dry, yet with a beautiful ripeness and fullness of stone fruit. Medium-bodied, textured and spicy. From organically grown grapes." 

Jeb Dunnuck, 92 Points 

"Pouring a silver straw hue, the 2021 Pinot Gris Estate is fresh with white flowers, white peaches, and wet stones. Medium-bodied and juicy, it fills the palate with pure, fresh fruit, a soft, stony texture, and a long, clean finish."  

Winemaker Notes: 

"Eyrie pioneered the variety in the New World and the New World’s oldest vines contribute to this cuvée. We take a slow approach—their Pinot gris ages 3-4 times longer than most commercial versions, on its natural yeast lees and in the company of full malolactic. The result is textural suppleness to complement the acidity, and a surprising ability to age."
