Wine Review: This very pale yellow colored Pinot Grigio opens with a very shy green pear bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, balanced, and easy going. The flavor profile is a gentle green pear with a touch of minerality and green apple. The finish is dry and subtle. This is a nice complimentary wine that would be perfect at a wedding. It would pair well with grilled chicken. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Light green lusters run through the straw color of this wine, whose aroma is rich in fruits, mostly pears. An excellent acidity balance gives this wine strength and structure. It is dry and smooth on the palate and leaves a long, pleasant aftertaste.
