1998 The Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Gris, Dundee Hills, Oregon, USAABOUT THIS WINE Eyrie set the bar and remains at the pinnacle of Gris production in the area. Eyrie takes the long way around when it comes to Pinot Gris, aging wines on lees for up to four times longer than many of their more commercial competitors and allowing full malolactic conversion. The result is wines of supple texture complementing fresh acidities and incredible ageability. This is a library release direct from Eyrie Cellar. ABOUT THIS
