Canoe Ridge Vineyard, 2024 Pinot Gris, Horse Heaven Hills, WA

Retail: $55| Club Price: $48| 6 Bottle Price: $274

100% Pinot Gris from Horse Heaven Hills AVA. All fermentation was completed in stainless steel for a classically crisp PG. The appellation takes its name from an early pioneer who said upon seeing the region and its wide prairies and expanses, ‘‘Surely this is Horse Heaven!” As legend has it, explorers Lewis and Clark noticed a ridge resembling an overturned canoe on their historic 1805 Columbia River journey. Today, that landmark is known as Canoe Ridge Vineyard, the namesake location of one of Washington State’s most recognized wine producers. First established in the Horse Heaven Hills in 1989, our Walla Walla-based winery soon followed in 1994.
