Eyrie Description
The Eyrie Vineyards is one of the original historic wine estates in Oregon and by all accounts one of the most historic in this country. In the winery, Eyrie’s “gentle touch” vineyard philosophy is carried over in their winemaking approach. The “style” is based on picking grapes at that elusive point of maturity where true varietal characteristics are at their peak, but before they become over-ripe. In the winery great care is taken not to compromise these flavors. This means minimal racking, extended lees contact, complete and spontaneous native fermentations, no fining, minimal filtration, etc. This gentle treatment creates wines which are very approachable when young but also with a (now legendary) ability to age for decades.
Robert Parker: 91 Points
The 2018 Pinot Gris has a nose of citrus, almonds, hay and earth. The palate is rounded, bright and fresh with delicate, gently honeyed flavors lingering on the finish.
