The Hawk Crest Pinot Gris from the state of Washington is pleasing to the palate and quite suitable as a companion for a variety of foods. We enjoyed ours with a dish of bay scallops and mushroom raviolis in a spicy tomato cheese sauce, and it was most enjoyable.

This Pinot Gris is fragrant and refreshing, with a good balance between the fruit and acidity. The flavors are green apple, citrus, and a touch of melon. The finish is crisp, and quite capable of handling spicy fare. The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm's score is 88.

A bottle of Hawk Crest would pair well with any summer salad selection, especially one featuring shellfish.

score: 88
price: $11 - $14
