“Our Pinot Gris falls between the lighter Italian Pinot Grigio style 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. I like this wine with scallops or halibut.”
