GUINIGI

Iris Vineyards Brut, Willamette Valley, Oregon ($30)

Showing like a wine twice the price, this oak-fermented traditional-method blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay is smooth, lithe, and coolly focused. Fresh bread, Granny Smith apple, underripe pineapple, and toasted almond grace the nose before flavors of citrus—lemon flesh and rind, white grapefruit—steadily unfurl, met by creamy nectarine on the midpalate and a touch more almond on the finish.
