Hogue Pinot Grigio Columbia Valley 2008; Washington

My parents surprised me by bringing me a bottle of wine to enjoy with some roast chicken tonight! The first thing I notice is a very soft nose: just hints of green apple. The wine follows that pattern. Very light, with a definite pear component, especially on the fleeting finish. This wine is ok for sipping chilled on a deck on a hot summer afternoon, or would accompany grilled citrus marinated whitefish like halibut.
