About the Wine: The trend toward organic and sustainable goods is well established but it has a special urgency in the wine world. If climate change models prove accurate then places like France and California will become increasingly inhospitable to wine grape cultivation. The prospect of moving the wine industry from its current centers in search of new ones does not bear contemplating, so more and more vineyards are doing what they can to slow the trend.
About THIS Wine: Oko is a pleasant straw color and has no distinct rim. The nose is crisp with lots of citrus and less acidity than I would normally associate with Pinot Grigio. The citrus delivers on the palate, which ends in a slightly tangy and somewhat mineral finish. It was much more complex than most Pinot Grigios I have had in this price range.
Drinking This Wine: This is a perfect compliment to white fish. I would not really recommend it as a sipping wine due to the strength of the finish.
Overall Impression: This is a pleasant, complex, organic wine for eleven dollars. It is a very good value.
