Tasting: Foris Pinot Gris

Foris Pinot Gris
Rogue Valley in Oregon
2011
$15.95
Review Provided by the Vintage Cellar: Although the 2011 vintage was difficult, Foris did particularly well with this light, spicy, fruit-laden Pinot Gris. True varietal flavors of pear and apple are perfectly set against vivid acidity.
My Review: I liked this wine so much that I actually came out with a bottle of it once I was done (I always seem to do that at the Vintage Cellar). The apple and pear tastes and aromas were very prominent in this tasting.

Tasting: Foris Gewurztraminer

Foris Gewurztraminer
Rogue Valley in Oregon
United States of America
2010
$14.95

  • Review provided by The Vintage Cellar: Nose of rose petal and lychee that Gewurztraminer is known for as well as stone fruits and lemongrass. The palate shows good concentration but stays fresh and lively due to its crisp acidity. We have always finished our Gewurztraminer drier than many of the more bottlings in the market.
  • My Review: This was another wine I liked and would like to keep in my home sometime soon. The playful and youthfulness of fruity offsets the more mature notes of floral to make for a really great wine for the developing palette
