Dwell Wines 2021 Pinot Gris
Something New
Dwell wines have up until now only been sold in the Southern Oregon area where the winery is located. In 2024 Linda & Brent decided to share these beautiful expressions of their estate vineyard with the rest of the state and we are proud to say that you will be some of the first folks to taste these beautiful wines outside of the Rogue Valley. This Pinot Gris is a testament to the tenacity of folks who not only have a vision, but who have stewarded the land with enough success to grow - all just to be able to share the flavor with as many people as possible.
Cellar 503 Tasting Notes
Dwell Wines, Grants Pass, Oregon
2021 Pinot Gris
Meet Brent and Linda Gee
We became interested in wine in 1994 while visiting Napa. We immediately saw the joy and passion of the winemakers and farmers. They seemed happy. And with that trip, the dream of living such a life sprouted. In early 2019, while contemplating New Year’s resolutions, we decided we would seek our dream or let it be and move on. We Googled “vineyards for sale in Southern Oregon” and our vineyard came up. After living in Dallas, Texas for 30 years and raising our family, we were ready to seriously pursue our dream. In October 2019, we purchased a vineyard in Applegate Valley with established vines. We named it Kenyon Vineyard in honor of Linda’s father, Charles Kenyon Eckels, who lived in the Applegate Valley for many years and introduced us to this spectacular area. In May 2021, we sold our home in Dallas and retired from our corporate jobs to move to Southern Oregon to farm the vineyard and begin selling wine.
Handcrafted with sustainably farmed fruit from our estate Kenyon Vineyard in the Applegate Valley. With aromas of lemon curd, lemongrass and apple blossom you will find notes of Asian pear in this medium bodied wine.
