2012 Chateau St. Michelle Pinot Gris

While this wine is self-described to be similar to a Pinot Grigio, it indeed has some spicier notes notes even with the fruity tannins and aroma. This actually allows the wine to couple well with darker meats like steaks in addition to traditional pairs like fish. 8 out of ten is the rating I would give vast on taste alone as it is completely drinkable with some fruity after tones that don't overwhelm.
