Solid, if lacking the complexity that I remembered from the 2009 or 10 vintage. At this price I found the Ponzi 2011 PG tasted alongside to be more compelling even if it displays noticeably more residual sugar.

Excellent pinot gris from Willamette. Bright, crisp, really nice acidity with lemon peel and a good long finish.

Faint aroma of honeysuckle and white flowers. On the palate, light-bodied, pear, honeydew melon and wet stones. Medium-length finish.
A less than stellar showing in a less than stellar vintage. The 2011 Pinot Gris from King Estate is a considerably better wine.

Willamette Valley Wines presents: Pinot in the City (City Winery, Chicago, IL): Nose: Crisp and fresh with tones of minerals, white fruits, and pears. While not too complex, everything is done well with some nice balance.
Taste: Light bodied with zippy medium+ acidity. Nice and crisp with very good tones of minerals, crushed rocks, and white fruits.
Overall: This is a very good pinot gris. It isn't the most complex, but it is well balanced and very refreshing.
