Wine Press Northwest raves over our 2005 VX Vercingetorix Pinot Gris, giving it an "EXCELLENT"
"Bruce Hall, owner of Willamette Farms of Oregon in Newberg, decided to get in the winemaking business. Hired gun Laurent Montalieu assists, and the collaboration worked well here. Pink Lady apples, passion fruit, pineapple, citrus, lavender, marigolds and NECCO wafer delight both nose and tongue. It's big, rich and long with dried apples and clover honey notes in the finish."

Wine Press Northwest awards our 2006 VX Vercingetorix Pinot Gris a "RECOMMENDED"
"No, we don’t know how to pronounce the name of this winery, either, so we’ll call it “VX” like everyone else does. The name, apparently, is in honor of a Celtic man who battled Caesar in France around 50 B.C. and used a “scorched earth” method during his fights, sparing only Burgundian vineyards. This wine opens with aromas of oranges and a hint of vanilla, followed by flavors of lush, sweet apples, oranges and a hint of grapefruit. A touch of residual sugar rounds the edges. Enjoy this with raw or baked oysters or Thai cuisine."
