Pinot Gris/Grigio from Willamette Valley, Oregon: WillaKenzie Estate Pinot Gris (375ML half-bottle) 2009


Exciting aromatics include tropical fruits of ripe melon, lychee, passion fruit, papaya, mango and pineapple, with a hint of spice. The wine has a creamy texture with rich flavors of honey, juicy Asian pears, lemon meringue and fresh pineapple. There’s a smooth transition mid-palate heading toward bright acids, which imparts a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. This wine is an excellent companion for a wide variety of foods including Indian and Asian dishes, Ahi tuna, tempura and lighter fish. Enjoy now or cellar for two to three years. Serve moderately chilled.
