Cameron occupies a different territory. John Paul's estate in the Dundee Hills grows Pinot Gris in the same volcanic Jory soils and cool, marine-influenced climate that define the region's finest Pinot Noir, and he treats it accordingly: as raw material for a serious, extended-aging, skin-contact wine. The Dundee Hills AVA sits at 200 to 450 meters elevation on iron-rich volcanic basalt, with mornings cool enough to hold acidity and afternoons warm enough to develop full phenolic ripeness — the conditions that make Willamette Valley distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Gris, late-harvested, fermented on skins for one month in amphora, then aged for approximately two years in neutral barrels. The inspiration is Stanislao Radikon and the skin-fermented Pinot Grigio tradition of Friuli — a wine that uses the grape's natural color and phenolic potential rather than stripping them out. The result bears no resemblance to standard Pinot Gris: deep amber-cherry hue, earthy red and blue-fruit aromas, with cherry, citrus zest, sarsaparilla, and cola on the palate, light tannins, and a long savory finish. Serve chilled at 55 to 58°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe People\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCameron Winery was founded in 1984 by John Paul, a scientist with a doctorate in marine biochemistry who chose winemaking over an academic career. The estate in the Dundee Hills is dry-farmed without irrigation — a commitment to restraint that runs through the entire operation. Cameron was making textural, age-worthy wines long before such things were fashionable in Oregon. The Supernatural Rouge de Gris is the most extreme expression of that philosophy: a wine that asks the drinker to set aside expectations about what Pinot Gris is supposed to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoast pork with dried fruit and warm spices, duck confit with cherries and thyme, aged charcuterie with pickled vegetables, or grilled salmon with a soy-ginger glaze.
