Willamette Valley Vineyards 2006 Pinot Gris - Pinot Gris/Grigio White Wine
White Wine by Willamette Valley Vineyards from Willamette Valley, Oregon. Number 60 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007! Crisp, authoritative, dry and racy… very fresh and refreshing, beautifully rendered. -Wine Enthusiast Bright, fruity, crisp style. Pretty aromas of fresh young pear, honey, starfruit, honeydew, and flower. Bold and crisp mouth feel with generous flavors of pear, mineral, melon, and spice, interwoven with well-balanced acidity. The Pinot Blanc, picked very ripe, adds emollient mouthfeel, and contributes to the Alsatian style. While the Muscat adds flowery sweetness, the barrel fermented portions of the Auxerrois add a kiss of toast and richness. The quintessential match with salmon. Wonderful with cheese, shellfish, chicken, salads and white fish.
