Carabella 2014 Reserve Pinot Gris (Chehalem Mountains)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Pinot Gris Oregon
Winery: Carabella / Chehalem Mountains

This is the first reserve Pinot Gris from the winery—half fermented in stainless, half in barrel. The wine feels as if it’s very lightly oxidized, with dusty, tawny apple flavors that recall a good hard cider. Its power is in the persistent, bone dry finish, that never quits. Drink now through 2018.
