2019 Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Pinot Gris
#45-2021
It’s always dinner time when shrimp are involved, so last night’s dinner of spicy broiled shrimp over rice was right on time. We paired our shrimp with a bottle of Chateau Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris, and dinner became a feast!
This Pinot Gris has a nose full of melon and pear which lead to swirling flavors of peach, pear, melon and a little spice toward the end. It was aged in stainless steel for three weeks and has a crisp finish. The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm’s score is 89.
A bottle Ste. Michelle Pinot Gris would be a good companion for almost any seafood dish, and would be great with an assortment of soft cheeses.
Score: 89
Price: $11-$15
