Good QPR and quite quaffable. (90 pts.)

Tasted August 18, 2008.

Opened and served immediately. Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Lovely nose of lychee, apricots and wet stones. Soft and supple flavors of peach, lime and lychee. Light to medium acidity and body. This wine has gotten better in the past 5 months in bottle. One of the better Oregon Pinot Gris I've tasted. Drink over the short term. (92 pts.)
