L'Umami Pinot Gris Willamette Valley 2023
This Oregon Pinot Gris is a refreshing and nuanced white wine, showcasing a delightful blend of orchard fruit, subtle minerality, and a crisp, balanced profile that embodies the Willamette Valley.
Nose: The aromatics are bright and inviting. Lovely notes of pear, green apple, and stone fruit, with a definite presence of lemon and apricot. There are delicate floral hints of blossom and an intriguing undertone of wet stone and minerals. Subtle hints of honey as well.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is dry and crisp, with a silky and rich mouthfeel. Flavors of apple, pear, and citrus (lime) are vibrant and pure. It carries a refreshing, balancing acidity that is present without being sharp, leading to a round and harmonious impression.Pleasant wet stone character on the palate, reflecting its terroir. This wine is subtle, balanced, and remarkably easy to drink.
Finish: Clean, refreshing, and of good length, with lingering notes of fruit, honey, and that distinctive mineral quality. It leaves the palate feeling clean and eager for another sip.
Pairing
Scallops: A perfect pairing, as noted. The wine's richness and acidity complement the sweetness of scallops.
Grilled White Fish: Think cod, halibut, or sole, especially with lemon and herbs.
Oregon Dungeness Crab, Shrimp, or Chowder: These are ideal matches.
Sushi and Sashimi: Its clean profile works beautifully with raw fish.
Fish Tacos: Especially those with fresh, zesty salsas.
History
L'Umami is a project by Laurent Montalieu, an acclaimed French winemaker who has been instrumental in Oregon's wine scene since 1987. He is associated with NW Wine Company, a significant player in the Willamette Valley, known for their focus on quality winemaking from vineyard to bottle. The name "L'Umami" reflects a focus on savory depth, a characteristic often found in the mushrooms that grow around the vineyards.
