Tasting- Ménage á Trois Limelight Pinot Grigio



 Name: Ménage á Trois Limelight Pinot Grigio

Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio

Country of Origin: 
USA

Winery Review: "Ménage à Trois Limelight shines a spotlight on refreshing citrus flavors in the most dazzling way. Limelight is a new star with sexy orange blossom aromas that lead to zesty key lime and mouthwatering Granny Smith apple flavors that make you pucker up. A touch of honeysuckle sweetness and minerality balance the pronounced citrus notes before the curtains drop with a refreshingly crisp finish. We promise you’ll be feeling star-struck after just one sip." (Found on Ménage á Trois website)

Wine Folly: pg. 149 on Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio in general. I did get the mineral flavor as described, and definitely got the citrus flavor. I got the light body and the  acidity, and I think the citrus contributed to that.  My wine was not chilled as recommended, but would like to try again and see if there's anything new in the wine. Wine Folly says low-medium alcohol and i felt that way about this wine. 
 

My Review: A great wine overall, I was really impressed with the flavors in this and really liked the citrus. What I really loved though was the green apple in this, and felt that it added a nice juicy finish to the wine and complimenting the citrus flavor well. I do think they hyped it up a lot on the label with how great it was supposed to be, but for the price I didn't really feel like it was a stand out wine. I would drink again because it was still a solid wine, but just not as phenomenal and striking as the label may imply. 

I tasted this wine without food.
