CRISTOM Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley ‘Skin Contact’ 2022

Pinot Gris is coming into its own in the Willamette Valley, and the 2022 Skin Contact “orange wine” Pinot Gris from Cristom is a stellar example. A light lemony-orange core with a watery rim in the glass produces a textural and weighty glass of wine with just the perfect amount of acidity. White peach, dried orange peel, blanched almonds, dusty road, and orange blossom all play together nicely.
