Illahe 2012 Estate Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)

Country: US / Estate
Variety: Pinot Gris Oregon
Winery: Illahe / Willamette Valley

This new vintage was barrel fermented, which fleshes out the flavors and brings some tropical notes along with the tart flavors of fresh pear. Young, sleek and showing a pleasing, wet stone minerality, this is styled for near-term enjoyment, perhaps with fresh halibut, swordfish or white salmon.
