Funky haystack nose. Some light pear.

1 person found it helpfulSep 23rd, 2014The straw-gold wine offers up a nose I don't expect on a Pinot Grigio. Floral gets a check, citrus gets a check, but there’s an earthiness that sneaks in on apricot and lanolin aromas. The Meyer lemon on the palate wears a cloak of minerals and stark-raving acidity makes the wine flexible enough to go with lot of different dishes. Anything with mushrooms, shellfish or a lemon sauce will be a fine pairing.

Jun 5th, 2017This wine shines a bright and beautiful yellow-gold in the glass. The nose is fruity and floral, with Meyer lemon and tangerine zest. Stone fruit and white flowers complete a delight for the nostrils. On the palate, there is ample fruit balanced with earthy minerality. The acidity is quite good. I enjoyed mine with lentil soup, and the winery also likes it with fish and risotto.
