Warning: do not open this young with little decanting and expect it to be like a Super Tuscan. I've had a 2010 in 2014, and it took hours to decant. This one is also a 2010 but much softer and more accessible. Lovely brick red with brown edges showing its age. Initial aromas of cocoa, roses, and plum, but as it opens, reveals spices and black cherry. — a month ago

People rating this below 90 pts don't get that Pinot Grigio will never be a grand cru Bourgogne Blanc. Compare this against Other Pinot Grigio and you'll instantly see how refined and mineral-rich this is. Aromas of dolostone and apple tart. — 5 months ago

Bottle description nails it; blueberry, black cherry, violets, and sandalwood with hints of roses, cardamom, and eucalyptus. Great QPR wine from the former winemaker of Sea Smoke (or so the shopkeep says). — a month ago

Very solid Savoie wine with a body and acidity somewhere between a White Burgundy and a White Bordeaux. Aromas of lemon meringue pie with subtle hints of minerals. — 3 months ago

Strong petrol notes, similar to Alsatian Rieslings with the characteristic lime or Aussie ones. Also features aromas of grapefruit and hints of pineapple. — 4 months ago

Beautiful aromas of peaches, apricots, citrus, caramelized pears with mild background notes of petrol, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and Granny Smith apples. White peach and apples on the palate. — 2 months ago

Honeyed peaches, lemon custard, and as one taster rightfully noted, cotton candy and saltwater taffy. Very perfumed with some intense floral notes that trick the senses in the wake of all the confectionary aromas.
Incredible, long finish that turns from racy to creamy as it settles on the tongue. In a word, awesome. — 3 months ago

Aromas of lemon meringue pie, fresh-cut apples, and minerals. Creamy, easy-drinking Champagne alternative for those of us who like more refined bubbles. — 4 months ago
