| | Tasted by abelicious on 3/5/2024: Translucent peach. Oxidised. Definitely past peak. Drinkable, wasn’t feeling it, so dumped it. Probably would have been great with the right pairing. Sherry sub perhaps. (164 views) |
| | Tasted by Richard123 on 2/2/2023 flawed bottle: This was very well oxidized, I think the wine is just past its window. If you have any, you might as well open them and clear out your cellar! (467 views) |
| | Tasted by BPaff on 9/27/2022 & rated 93 points: Really great flavour concentration, some bitter herbs, autumn florals, dried grapefruit and peach fruitiness lingering, starting to gain a bit of a sherry like oxidative note. (531 views) |
| | Tasted by MargauxA on 3/28/2021 & rated 93 points: Fresh and unique, drink lightly chilled so that subtle fruit character balances with phenolics and slight bitterness on the after palate. On the nose, medium(-) honeysuckle, white peach. Would have liked to see a little more fruit concentration, but still loved this wine. (1053 views) |

| | Tasted by KTelaak_Buffalo on 11/19/2019 & rated 92 points: A terrific old world expression of Pinot Grigio. Almost a full rose in color. A great experience! (1533 views) |
| | Tasted by srh on 6/30/2018: Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 4 *shared* VERY *interesting* bottles] from 06/29/18] (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Note: Slightly pink or copper-hued in color [ramato style]
100% Pinot Grigio grown from vines ave 18 yrs old grown in rather shallow, well-drained soils with generous gravel-pebbly texture, and clay of reddish hue due to presence of ferrous & aluminum oxides. Malolactic blocked. Aged 9 mos on the lees, then 10 mos in the bottle; 13.80% ABV, 5.00 g/l T.A., & 3.38 pH. 2,916 cs made
N: Smoke, notes of oranges?
P: Med, poss MF, body; RNDISH entry with NICE frt met by counterbalancing acidity with a bit of astringency which DOES pretty much lose its "bite" by the LONG, Very, VERY slightly bitter finish with ULT notes of swtness to bring it through. For now & through '19. An atypical style, at least for me. My VG+/EXC-. 93 pts Suckling, 92 Vinous, 89 WS, & 88 WE @ $43 [which strikes me as QUITE a *poor* QPR for the sugg retail of a style most would consider an anomaly.] [This vendor's $21.95 is at LEAST $3 < anyone else on wine-searcher.] (2208 views) |
| | Tasted by Steve.330i on 3/31/2018 & rated 90 points: Come al solito un vino ben fatto dalla famiglia Gallo, naso elegante con arance e albicocche non troppo intenso. In bocca pieno ed elegante, bella mineralitá, sapido, fresco e bello lungo. Da conservare più a lungo in cantina. (1632 views) |
| | Tasted by Mark Nagle on 2/5/2018 & rated 93 points: Skin contact pale orange / pink. Best not too cold served with mild cold cut cured meat or with shellfish with a robust sauce. (1264 views) |
