Acrobat Pinot Gris Oregon White Wine

The label says Pinot Gris, not Pinot Grigio, and that is worth a second look. They are the same grape; guides say the spelling tends to signal style, with Grigio leaning lighter and crisper and Gris pointing to more body. Acrobat says its wines come from vineyards across western Oregon. Across nine stores in our September 2026 checks, the lowest we saw was $12.49.

Acrobat is part of the Foley Family Wines portfolio, and the producer's own site names balance as its founding idea: "Striking a balance has been the goal of Acrobat from day one," the brand states, aiming for approachable, everyday wines rather than special-occasion bottles. For this Pinot Gris, Acrobat's account says the fruit is drawn from three growing areas across western Oregon, Willamette Valley, Umpqua Valley and Rogue Valley, a spread the producer says is meant to capture the state's range of terroir in one bottle rather than showcase a single vineyard. Foley's own retail listing shows the current release as the 2024 vintage. The producer's marketing pages do not publish a technical sheet for this wine, so figures such as alcohol content and residual sugar stay off the record.

The average is 3.5 out of five, from 2 ratings, which lands in the lower range of what shoppers here have scored. The top price in those same September 2026 checks was $18.99. Guides put pear, apple and stone fruit in this grape, running from dry to gently off-dry. Does the Gris spelling here point to the rounder style, or the lighter one?

Our call: a sensible pick if an inexpensive Oregon Pinot Gris is the brief and a producer that names its three growing valleys is enough to hang it on. Pass if you want the technical story or a track record; Acrobat publishes no tech sheet for this bottling, and two ratings averaging middling are a start, not a signal.
