Wasn't sure how this would age, but I really enjoyed this wine and it's doing very well. Wonderful tropical fruit nose (pineapple, passion fruit & maybe some guava). Rich with nice viscosity (legs for days) and bright acidity. Slightly darker straw color. Perfect with roast garlic (butter) crab or butter poached lobster. This is a food wine and a very nice one indeed. Will probably pop open all my bottles over the next couple months as it seems to be perfect now and it's crab season. However as a note, it did open up more over several hours, so likely to have some further staying power.

I tasted this at room temperature. The nose had lots of peach and tropical fruits. There was also some apple and floral notes. The palate had a good amount of acidity, and lots of peach and tropical fruit, like the nose. It finished with spice and floral notes.

Intense golden color. Dominant aromas of apples, pears with notes of ripe cherry ; Pleasantly acidic and mineral on the palate. tropical and wet fruit finish with grapefruit aftertaste; a crowd pleaser.

Some vanilla, allspice and light citrus flavors, but it just doesn't manage to pull it all together. OK value, probably 3 out of 5 stars.

Golden color, full-bodied, with pineapple, peach, and cream. Very interesting for a pinot grigio, and a nice value.
