Pinot Gris

Pinot Gris is a darkly colored white wine grape that evolved from the Pinot Noir. It was originally a popular wine from Alsace and northeastern Italy. Pinot Gris has become one of the most successful wines grown in Oregon. Most versions are quite dry, but Pinot Gris wines can range from light and delicate to fairly full-bodied. Rarely barrel-aged, Pinot Gris wines tend to be dry and crisp, the perfect accompaniment to salmon and seafood. It can be rather subtle in both flavor and aroma, though the best examples are reminiscent of almonds, minerals and peaches.
