Floral nose with notes of honeysuckle and orange peel, but tempered by spice in the background. Sprightly and crisp on the tongue, then transitions to smoothness, quiet complexity; I came away with impressions of candied ginger, minerals, some grassy tones, a teeny hint of citrus and maybe a little caramel. Delightful. I could sip this all night. In fact, I think I will!

Not bad, but a fairly average pinot grigio without much character or verve. Slight acidity, but too little of it to develop into an interesting quality. I found it pleasant enough but tepid compared to many others in the same price range. You can do better.

I'm a big Marlborough SB fan, and this is a good example of what I look for. Very crisp, heavy on the citrus, notes of mineral and citrus (the latter perhaps a bit too strong for my taste). Pretty good value.
