title: Melrose 2009 Pinot Gris (Umpqua Valley)
description: Estate-grown and fruit-driven, this lush, pear-flavored Pinot Gris is dotted with pretty cinnamon and allspice highlights. Forward and nicely balanced, it has the texture and weight to handle rich sauces, much like a big Chardonnay, but without all the new oak.
variety: Pinot Gris
