Description:
You’ll first be drawn to the 2005 Pinot Grigio by the almost luminescent green-gold strawlike color of the wine. A swirl of the glass unleashes aromas of pear-blossom and a delicate lemon-lime citric nuance. This Pinot Grigio, however, expresses itself “en bocca” (in the mouth) where it bursts with flavors of appley pear and lemon curd, overlaid with a remembrance of a tropical, hibiscus tea and hints of marzipan. There is an underlayer of flinty minerality and a very pleasing and crisp acidity. Delightfully refreshing as it is, this is a rounded, full-bodied wine with weight on the palate. The texture is silky, creamy and unctuous, but with a nice crisp “bite”. The wine lingers on the palate with a long, brisk and lasting finish. This youthful and vibrant wine should be served slightly chilled and enjoyed while young.
