Our featured wine of the week:  
 
Our featured wine of the week is the 2004 Pinot Gris from Cardwell Hills Cellars. Bright pale yellow color, hints of aromas suggestive of citrus fruits, acacia and lime blossoms, lychee, minerals, honeysuckle, white peaches and nectarines. Concentrated flavors are focused and balanced with crisp ripe acidity and vivacious fruit. The finish lasts forever and at the end is clean, crisp and inviting. This wine is a classic Oregon Pinot Gris and showcases the ripeness, concentration and succulent nature of the 2004 vintage ($16.99).
