Wine-o: Chateau Ste. Michelle 2010 Pinot Gris

Chateau Ste. Michelle 2010 Pinot Gris Columbia Valley
13.5% Alcohol
While the Cupcake Angel Food was fruity and buttery, this has a crisp flavor to it that is completely different!  When I told my friend Dan at Macadoodle's that I wanted to try a NorthWest wine he directed me to this.  Apparently the Columbia river valley is known for Pinot Gris wines.

Our Pinot Gris style falls between the lighter Italian Pinot Grigio and the richer, rounder Pinot Gris from Alsace. The Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris offers fresh aromas and flavors of pear, fig and a hint of spice. A touch of Viognier contributes texture and an attractive floral character. This wine is a perfect match with scallops or halibut.
Freya's Score: 8 a great crisp taste that isn't overpowering
