- "Best of Class" - SF Chronicle Wine Competition, Jan. 2016

- 90 pts "Best Buy" - Wine Enthusiast, Oct. 2015

"Foris consistently produces a meticulously crafted, value lineup ofAlsatian-inspired white wines. As with its siblings, this is crisp, detailed and balanced. Apple and pear fruit is lined with citrus rind. Give it a light chill and it will delight. Best Buy. -P.G."

With all of the hallmarks of classic Oregon Pinot Gris, aromas of Asian pear, a hint of coconut and a whiff of apple Danish pastry, the texture is full and firm with a a tangy, mouthwatering finish. The broad entry and a bit of peach skin tartness and raw almond flavors keep this wine taut and lively. - The Winemaker
