I have a love-hate relationship with Estancia as I think that some of their products are overpriced, and some stuff I just don't like every vintage of.  In this case, I thought that I saw Pinot Gris on the label versus Pinot Grigio; the difference you might ask is usually the style of making the wine, or concentrating the flavors.  If you get a Pinot Gris from Alsace, I know that I will get more pears and white peaches and apricots, but if you get a Pinot Grigio -- even though it's the same grape -- the flavor is usually different.  This is mainly because most of the Pinot Grigio wines that we come across in the states are made one way and also they are not the best quality... unless you pay correctly, and no, Santa Margherita is not a good quality example [anymore].  And this is say that when I was in Italy, I came across many great Pinot Grigios, but most of them I never have seen in the states.

This wine is great, with a nice silky tongue to it.  It is clean and crisp and reminds me of the first time I ever had white peaches (that was in 2003 as I was celebrating my birthday in Cape May, NJ with a lovely woman.  The aroma reminds me of honeysuckle, the weight is light and the finish lasts for at least twenty seconds.

This wine could easily be paired with lemon chicken or any herbed chicken, a nice seafood salad, or a pasta salad.  It's very great.
