Evesham Wood, Blanc du Puits Sec

Evesham Wood, Blanc du Puits Sec, Eola Hills, 2005. $13 find this wine

While I was in Oregon recently, I tried this excellent organic pinot gris. Russ Raney adds depth to the wine by blending in 15 percent gewürztraminer, which makes it a terrific aperitif wine. It has the floral notes of pinot gris with a hint of the lusciousness of gewurtz all with minerality and refreshing acidity—I’d like to taste it blind against some Alsatian whites, or forget that, with some seafood! The only bad news is the limited availability of the wine. But based on this taste, I’d be very willing to cobble together an order of his very reasonably priced wines from Russ at the winery directly. Pinot gris, as only Evesham Wood! eveshamwood.com (503) 371-8478. Organic.
