2011 Hedgeline Pinot Gris

Hedgeline is a Kroger house brand. It is their house brand focused on wines from OR and WA. As I drink my fair share of Oregon wines, both red and white, I was anxious to try this one. The price point (about $11) is compelling for this varietal and origination. I found this wine to be entirely pleasant and very consistent with my expectations for an Oregon pinot gris. Light bodied with a nice balance of acidity and fruit. Aromas of tart apple and tropical fruit, with flavors of pear and a pleasant minerality at the end. For a nice, light sipping wine or pairing with a salad and roast chicken, this wine is good buy.
