Was given three bottles of this on 4/8/12 and despite my skepticism, it is still drinking beautifully. That being said, I am no Pinot Grigio expert, far preferring Barolo, Brunello, Barberas, French and California reds.

This wine has a very pale yellow color, not necessarily appealing to the eye. The nose is one of lemon and some herbacious tones, but when the wine is cold, which is the only way it is bearable to put in your mouth, the nose is almost completely closed off.
There is a faint hint of stone fruit, light herbs, with a strange plastacine finish, slightly reminescent of pencil lead.
When quaffed, this wine smacks you in the face with a huge spot of "woody" flavor right in the middle.
I'm not sure how this wine was 2-3 years ago, but it is definately past its prime.

Very light, pale yellow color. Not much aroma, maybe a little lemon. The taste was very tart and acidic without much flavor.
