Eyrie, Pinot Gris Estate Dundee Hill, 2023
Eyrie is the founding estate of Oregon wine. David Lett, known as Papa Pinot, moved to the Dundee Hills in 1965 with 3,000 grape cuttings and a hunch that Pinot Noir and its cousins could thrive on the region's volcanic Jory soils. Among those cuttings was the first commercial planting of Pinot Gris in America, in 1966. Sixty years on, his son Jason Lett carries the estate forward with the same restrained, classical hand. The Estate Pinot Gris is the benchmark American expression of the grape, drawn from those original Dundee Hills plantings. Lower in alcohol, dry, and built around mineral cut rather than fruit weight, it is a quiet, transparent wine that rewards close attention at the table.
