This is NOT your typical PG. Nose is lychee, honeysuckle, and underripe peach. Taste is unsweetened applesauce, lemony candy, and honeysuckle. Flavors are more like an auslese riesling than a PG. Perfect summery wine! A real surprise! Very tasty with chinese food!

This must be the best pinot grigio made in California and this is one of the top two vintages since Benessere started making this wine. It's crisp and lush at the same time with citrusy sav blanc flavors followed by a burst of mango and other tropical fruit flavors. It has a round mouthfeel and a pleasant fruity finish. It is one of the great values in California whites.

A relatively dry grigio that is refreshing on a hot summer's night

Tropical aromas with tropical flavors. Not a fan of pinot grigios/gris, but this one was impressive.
