The 2008 Pinot Gris Estate Grown is a bit more concentrated. It features aromas and flavors of tangerine zest, apricot, and white peach leading to a dry, crisp, flavorful effort that should also drink well for another 2 years.Tel. (503) 662-3280; www.willakenzie.com

WillaKenzie’s Pinot Gris is fleshier and rounder than the elegant, delicious Pinot Blanc, and makes a fine companion wine. The soft entry tastes of Asian pear, yellow apple and a bit of green pineapple. It firms up as it rolls across the palate, with excellent concentration and focus.——P.G.(12/15/2009)—— 89
