Review (from Wine Spectator): "89pts, This Pinot Grigio is created when you take grapes primarily from vineyards along the river in cool-climate Russian River Valley in Sonoma County and ferment them only in stainless steel -- a crisp, clean refreshing wine. This wine has delicious aromas and flavors of lychee, honeysuckle, white peach, dried apricot, mango and lime zest with a touch of minerality. Full-bodied and bright at the same time, this Pinot Grigio's concentrated aromas, flavors and refreshing acidity linger to the finish."
My Review: Since the back of the bottle said this Pinot Grigio was best served chilled, we let in sit in the fridge for a few hours, and I did not have it with any food. When I smelled the wine, I was mainly getting a sort of bitter, orange peel-type smell. My first impressions when I was tasting the wine was that it was very dry and had a pretty light body. The wine tasted acidic to me, and two tastes that stuck out to me the most were lemon/lime and pear. This wine didn't really fit with the tastes I like in a wine, so I probably won't buy it again, but for the price I thought it was a very solid white wine.
