WillaKenzie Estate, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Pinot Gris 2008

($18):  Consumers often forget that Oregon producers exceptional Pinot Gris.  This wine should remind them.  Full and rich, it has hints of melons and nuances of apricots and other stone fruits.  Enlivening acidity refreshes the palate and keeps you coming back for more.  It’s pleasing as an aperitif, but the panoply of flavors, alluring texture and bright acidity makes it a good choice with a meal. 90 Michael Apstein Feb 16, 2010
