  Because of the blending, not as tart as most PG. Very mellow and docile. A pleasure.

  CellarTracker does not make it easy to review new blends, but we still love them. This wine is 55% Pinot Grigio, and 45% Pinot Blanc. There are lots of reason to think they made a good decision with this blend. Very smooth. The color is on the Pinot Blanc style of golden. A light swirl brings a jasmine and lavender enhanced peach aroma that neither varietal could express by itself. One of those wines so balanced, it leaves a hint of sweetness, even though it is most likely totally dry. Has a touch of glycerine with the peachy, citrus, and mango fruit. A nice hit of ginger, and brown spice. Very civilized acidity. The finish has a hint of yeasty, mineral, and spicy pear, peach, and yellow apple. This wine is not complex, but is simply delightful, while being super affordable. Nice job.
