Matt Kinne’s McKinley label is one of the surest bets in the Willamette Valley. Whether you’re looking at his Willamette Valley Pinot Noir or one of the single vineyard cuvees he makes, you’re not going to find better value for a classic Oregon wine. Unless of course, you pick up a bottle of Matt Kinne’s other wine label, Mesa. This is the name he uses for his off-grid wines, like Gamay or this entrancing Pinot Gris. This massively overdelivers because Matt treats it like Chardonnay, giving the grapes enough time on the vine to develop complex flavors and plenty of lees stirring in the winery for more texture. The result is an action packed Gris, with huge floral aromas, peach sundae, flinty reduction and a margarita salt rim. The palate is creamy and tastes of a spring garden’s worth of flowers with fruit notes of  guava, tangerine, and orange sorbet. Excellent for roasted chickens or anything you put honey-dijon mustard on.
