Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Tonnino's exotic example of Pinot Grigio has a straw to pale gold color. It is fresh and clean on the nose with fruity notes of pear, green apple, and white peaches. The palate is true to the nose with a fresh acidity, coriander and lime notes followed by a crisp finish. This wine pairs well with youthful apertifs, clams or mussels, pastas, and risotto dishes." Vintage Cellar
My Review: The aromas of this wine are fairly light on the nose. Clean and citrus are the first impressionable words that come to mind. The followup aromas include some pear and melon, but nothing too strong. The taste was acidic, fresh and semi-sweet, but was actually a little heavy on the mouth feel. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of flavor, there just wasn't really anything there and fell a bit short, but I wouldn't call this a bad wine at all, if it was served I would definitely drink it again!
This wine was tasted at Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA without food.
