Pinot Gris from OR

Belle Pente, Pinot Gris 
$22

Those who know me know that I do not like Pinot Grigios very much at all.  But I do tend to like Pinot Gris.  So I figured I would give it a go!

This wine seemed rather shy so there are no real aromatics to speak of, but I was struck by the smoothness of the wine itself.  On the palate there were peachy, mineral, almost ashy notes that were prominent.  Giving way to something more tropical.  I was expecting it to be more acidic than it was.

Though I liked it, it is a little pricey.  I would rather stick to my unoaked Chardonnays.
