 Tasted by Bobdoc on 12/5/2020: Good (320 views)
 Tasted by Lyubomir Lefterov on 9/1/2020 & rated 87 points: It is stil holding up, weighty and fresh, but nothing really exciting, used it over 2 days for cooking and a glass to sip along. (2151 views)
 Tasted by Fcm3145 on 3/28/2020: Yum! (332 views)
 Tasted by Sax_Doc on 6/7/2019 & rated 75 points: Full bodied. Probably would not get it again. Maybe because we drank it past it’s prime. (3415 views)
 Tasted by Paul from the Oblong Table on 6/2/2019 & rated 90 points: Always liked it, especially in AUA. Great with light Japanese foods at Ooka. (3114 views)
 Tasted by srh on 5/25/2019: Winebar [1 Rosé, 3 Whites, 8 Reds, & 7 *shared* bottles] from 05/24/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Frt grown @ 985-1,475 ft elev in "moderately loose & pebbly soils of morainic & fluvial origin;" Typically, "the grapes are soft-crushed, then carefully fermented in temp-controlled tanks, ff'd by several additional wks of aging prior to filtering & bottling."

N: Almost a TOASTY earthiness?

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) adequately off-set by an acidity which SUBTLY frames the wine into the LONG, tangy/swt (60:40) finish. NICELY done for now & through '20, poss early '21? My EXC-; [Check with this vendor if interested in their very COMPETITIVE price.]

Note: Also tasted on 11/10/2018 (3371 views)
 Tasted by gb0913 on 3/24/2019 & rated 84 points: It’s good for cooking, and tolerable for a glass while doing said cooking. (3202 views)
 Tasted by srh on 11/10/2018: Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 6 *shared* bottles] from 11/09/18 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): N: Fairly fragrant minerals with notes of forest floor?

P: Med body; Very RNDISH entry with nice, ALMOST swtish frt nicely counterbalanced by an acidity which defines the effort into & though the LONG, tangy/swt finish with ALMOST a palate-cleansing, very, VERY slight bitterness. For now & through '19. My VG+. [This vendor's $16.95 puts it in the top 10% of wine-searcher's large field.] (2922 views)
 Tasted by zmptexas on 10/29/2018 & rated 92 points: Crisp, light, nice medium finish. Definitely drink again (1874 views)
 Tasted by kdubler on 8/28/2018: Blind Tasting in Cottonwood: First blind of the day.

Straw in color with no sediment or signs of gas. Clean nose with a slight floral edge. Jasmine and honeysuckle. A mellow lemon and lime note as well with a hint of yellow apple. I also got a very slight green aroma off this wine. Medium alcohol and medium body.

Guessing blind my first thought was potentially a white Bordeaux blend from the New World. Was surprised to see a Italian PG. I've given this wine a hard time over the years, and while I think it is overpriced it wasn't bad. (2372 views)
 Tasted by mhaugen on 7/14/2018 & rated 87 points: nice , light, bright (2715 views)
 Tasted by amurph07 on 5/27/2018 & rated 85 points: Clean light citrus notes. Great balance. Not overly sweet or dry (3029 views)
 Tasted by Bauman on 5/5/2018 & rated 89 points: a good every day go to white that is dry and consistent (2662 views)
 Tasted by Callum's Corkers on 4/1/2018 & rated 86 points: Bargain. Got it at 50% discount from Waitrose UK online, so only paid £6.50 for it. Drinks like a £10 wine.

Good solid PG. Loads of flavours, good length, lively acidity. Off dry. Not hugely complex wine, but for me was good/very good. Will buy again in Good vintages. (2972 views)
 Tasted by Hodderbk on 3/29/2018: The wine looks light gold colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like apple, peach, grapefruit, mineral, vanilla and apple blossom. It tastes like lime, mineral, lemon, grapefruit, stoniness and almond. The body is light/medium. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. (1982 views)
 Tasted by dclaggett on 3/29/2018 & rated 86 points: Light green gold. Decent finish, slightly richer/softer on palate than expected. Med acidity. (2441 views)
 Tasted by Dean&Libby on 2/18/2018 & rated 89 points: The wine looks blonde colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like orange blossom, strawberry and diacetyl (butter). It tastes like grapefruit, mineral, and a hint of light toast, with some acid & butterscotch in the finish. The body is light/medium. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.

Quite pleasant. (1982 views)
 Tasted by katemcneece on 2/11/2018: Basic but easy drinking Pinot Grigio. Nothing special but nice acidity. (1769 views)
 Tasted by Todd Forney on 1/8/2018 & rated 87 points: Nice Pino Grigio. Straw colored. Peach scents and a crisps taste. (1879 views)

 Tasted by mitiman2003 on 11/14/2017 & rated 90 points: Light, straw color, w/excellent clarity. Fresh, tree fruit aromas — apples, pears, a bit of lemon. Pears, mild green apples, & grapefruit flavors. Crisp, well-balanced, rich mouthfeel. (2548 views)
 Tasted by indiscriminate palate on 8/20/2017: Lemon and tropical fruit in the nose. Fairly rich and juicy on the palate. Lemon/lime, bit of grapefruit, and a bit of herb on the palate. Medium acid. Not bad. (3155 views)
 Tasted by Boumbles on 8/19/2017 & rated 90 points: Green apple, white pepper corn aromas, dry, fresh (2817 views)
 Tasted by Lyubomir Lefterov on 6/14/2017 & rated 88 points: Polished, medium weighted Pinot Griggio, quite neutral in a good way for supporting the food.
While I easily see a lot of people drinking it on its own, for me is boring wine when drank alone. Consistency with this label - year in year out. (3043 views)
