In the past, this has been called "Pinot Gris Original Vines," but Jason Lett says, "This is the first time we are calling it 'The Eyrie.' I wanted to put a little more focus on place—I'd like this wine to be a wake-up call for people to think about Pinot Gris as a terroir wine, not just a patio sipper." Lett believes his are the oldest Pinot Gris vines in the world. The 2017 Pinot Gris The Eyrie has wonderful aromas of orange oil, tarragon and fresh herbs, wet slate and wet hay with a core of fresh orchard fruits. The medium-bodied palate is silky and perfumed with mouthwatering acidity and a whisper of texture on the finish. As always, Eyrie’s Pinot Gris is an entirely different animal than the ubiquitous leesy, peanut shell-scented versions I avoid.
