1999 Pottmeyer & Liem Pinot Gris "Elvenglade Vineyard" Willamette Valley from magnum
Delicious and still young. Old Mosel style richness of flavor on a lithe frame. Trimbach better watch out :)
One of only 2 vintages produced by Peter Liem's own hand (the other was 2000). Only six magums were bottled. From fruit Peter was given basically for free (the owner of Elvenglade was given some of the finished product in return). With one used barrel and winemaking advice borrowed from Cameron winery. Oversulphured as a result of a miscalculation and thus long lived. Bottled and waxed sealed by hand.
Light hue, especially for the aged involved.
Early picked fruit.
Released in the fall of 2000 with a wholesale price of $10 per 750ml bottle.
This is the most captivating white wine I have had from Oregon.
