The Eyrie Vineyards 2021 ‘The Eyrie’ Pinot Gris

Jason Lett calls this Pinot Gris "a liquid manifesto." He believes the grape can equal Pinot Noir in its ability to "reflect the nuances of site, craft and vine age." During my recent visit to the winery he pressed the point with a bottle from 1983 that was still drinking beautifully. But this young PG is perfectly delicious, with a refreshing stony minerality that soaks on through the finish.. The fruits coalesce around apple, peach and citrus and linger with a power and presence that suggests this too will age for decades. 156 cases; 12.9%; $30 (Dundee Hills) 94/100
