Wow, more like a sour moscato. I can see how this would appeal to people with the sweeter taste preference though. It's also not overly sweet, just not a pinot

Meh. Misses both targets: it's too sweet and tropical to hit the bracing crispness of a Pinot Grigio, but the sweetness isn't developed and owned like a Gris. The nose has nice tropical mineral, the palate is juicy and a bit tart, and the finish has that ineffable "off-ness" of a cheap wine. This feels very Californian, not in a good way. Don't hate it, but I'd never buy it again.

Not fruity but not gross. Definitely would get again. Get sipping at a BBQ!

Amazing bottle with my love. Could've asked for a better start to the night. Great oak taste!
