| 75 | | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Not uncommon in Alsace, Pinot Gris often finds its way into sweet wines. Oregon may produce a sweet Pinot Gris as well, such as this one. But while it’s sweet, it’s balanced by good acidity that leaves the palate absolutely watering for more. Medium-bodied and showing a pale yellow color, the wine presents aromas of honey, straw and flowers, while the palate surprises with crisp pear/apple fruit. The finish seems dry, as the acidity (8.2%) sets in, makes the mouth water, and takes the edge out of the perception of sweetness, residual sugar 3.45%. The finish is amazingly long, thanks again to that bright acidity. Serve it moderately chilled, about 55-60ºF/13-15ºC, in tulip-shaped white-wine glasses. It’s just 10.65% alcohol, so a decent pour won’t make your legs wobble. Enjoy it with triple cream cheeses, foie gras, savory custards or a savory (onion) custard tart or a savory clafoutis, shellfish, and just maybe a pumpkin dessert if it’s not too sweet (such as a pumpkin roulade with ginger).
