Winery Review: "The Central Coasts’ unique coastal terroir shines brightly in this crisp, clean Pinot Grigio. Lovely aromas of lemongrass, grapefruit and honeysuckle lead to decadent flavors of ripe pear, apple and hints of tangerine. A touch of minerality on the palate is balanced by mouthwatering acidity and a light, tart finish. Extraordinarily food-friendly, this Pinot Grigio fits naturally alongside seafood or Asian fare with a hint of spice." (Found on the Seaglass Wine Company Website on 3/14/2024).
Wine Folly: pg. 149 on Pinot Gris/Pinot Grigio in general. I did not get the gravelly taste, but definitely got the lemon and a little bit of the peach flavor described. I got the light body and the high-ish acidity described. My wine was not as chilled as recommended, but I would want to try it again at that temperature and think it might be better. The description says low-medium alcohol but I felt that it tasted more alcohol-y than described.
My Review: This wine was quite tasty! I love a dry wine, and this one was certainly dry. The description from the winery was pretty spot on, but I thought it was more acidic than they had described. The wine was light and very crisp, but I think I also could have chilled it for longer to be able to get a better tasting experience. The warmer the glass got the less I enjoyed the wine, so I think if I had it again I would definitely chill it longer. The descriptions on the bottle are more accurate than what was on the website, and I did get more citrusy notes rather than honeysuckle or even lemongrass. I felt it was a decently 'juicy' wine and got the nice pear or peach aromas and flavors upon tasting.
I tasted this wine without food.
