Benton-Lane 2009 Pinot Gris (Willamette Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Pinot Gris Oregon
Winery: Benton-Lane / Willamette Valley

Benton-Lane makes quite a lot of Pinot Gris, stainless-steel fermented and whole cluster pressed, yielding a soft, fragrant, fruity wine with plenty of fresh pear flavor. It flattens out broadly across the palate, full-bodied and lightly spicy. Just a bit more focus would really elevate this wine to the top ranks.
