Cedar + Salmon Pinot Gris

Cedar + Salmon is a Pacific Northwest wine label produced by 3 Badge Beverage Corporation, the négociant founded by fourth-generation vintner August Sebastiani and headquartered in a historic refurbished firehouse in Sonoma. The brand draws fruit from family vineyards in the Willamette Valley, Oregon's benchmark cool-climate region, which produces some of the world's most elegant expressions of Pinot Gris. Gently pressed and fermented cold in stainless steel between 50°F and 55°F to preserve freshness and purity, the wine pours pale straw with aromas of white peach, green apple, daffodil, and citrus blossom. On the palate it is light-bodied with good acidity, flavors of lime, pear, and warm ginger, and a bright, crisp finish.

Food Pairings: Grilled halibut or salmon, Dungeness crab, oysters, lemon-herb chicken, fresh goat cheese, summer salads with citrus vinaigrette, light pasta with clam sauce
