Wine Review: "Taking a sip reveals surprising depth of flavor with tons of green apple, lime and touches of tropical fruit in this tart and tasty wine. And while there's plenty of sweet tasting fruit, it's a fairly dry wine which isn't always common with Pinot Grigio at this low of a price point." (Jon Thorsen)

Wine Folly: Pg. 251. As stated about Pinot Grigio, I was able to pick up on the subtle tart fruit characteristics in the wine. I was also able to taste the acidity that is also commonly associated with Pinot Grigio. The flavor described that I really came through was green apple.

My Review: In general I have started to take a liking to Pinot Grigio when it comes to white wine and this one held true to that. I thought that this wine was very refreshing and I could really taste a bit of green apple as well as the acidity. The wine was on the dry side and I tried it with Havarti pepper jack cheese. I didn't feel like it paired great with the cheese but it went well with the salty crackers.
