About the Wine: Pinot Grigio is a white wine noted for its dryness, mild flavor, and acidity. It is one of the six Noble varieties, meaning it can be grown in any wine growing region, but Italian Pinot Grigios are especially popular. It is usually drunk with food due to its mouth watering acidity. The nose is distinctive. The smell of Pinot Grigio has been described as "acid", "astringent", and "cat piss."
About THIS Wine: The wine is a light yellow and slightly luminous in the glass. The nose has citrus and potent acidity. The palate is mild citrus with high acidity and the acidity lingers on the palate for a spicy finish that is unlike the spice associated with heavily oaked wines.
Drinking This Wine: This is definitely a food wine. Enjoy chilled with mild fish or vegetarian dishes. I would particularly recommend it with any dish that includes a heavy portion of rice.
Overall Impression: The appearance, nose, palate, and finish of this wine all match the classic description of Pinot Grigio. At $12 a bottle this is an excellent bottle for the price.
