While this bottles playful orange popsicle label might pull you in, the stunningly complex wine is what will have you reaching for another glass (and likely another bottle). This skin-contact blend is a unique combination of 70 percent Pinot Gris, grown in the high-elevation Chehalem Mountains of the Willamette Valley, and 30 percent Chardonnay from the Eola-Amity Hills. The Pinot Gris brings vibrant notes of guava, peaches, strawberries, and jasmine flowers and a rich, rounded texture on the palate, while the Chardonnay adds a pop of acidity.
