Abandoned Halfway Up The Mountain
It’s from Oregon, it’s Pinot Gris, it’s got a pretty picture of snowcapped mountains on the label, but unfortunately the 2008 Pinot Gris from the peeps at Snowline Vineyards just doesn’t quite hit the same elevation as many of its Oregon peers. The 2008 Snowline Pinot Gris dials up the right acidity, but doesn’t quite muster up enough crisp fruit flavors to get your taste buds all the way to the top of the mountain – it dumps you off the lift somewhere in the middle.

Thanks for the tip. I think that's the first time I've seen a pinot from Oregon get a *meh* review. It's important to hear about the good wines, but really very useful to hear of the not-so-good, as well.
