'Fresh, bright Gala apple flavours dominate in this lively wine. Moderately sweet in style but balanced by fine tannins that add a little spice, and a touch of coarseness, to the finish. Great value at this price. (26-Aug-2011)' - www.wine-searcher.com
My Review:
Great white wine! I really enjoyed the crisp, clean taste of this pinot gris. Right away I was able to detect grassy, earthy tastes that seemed to get stronger at the finish. It was not overly floral, but smelled like dandelions and sort of refreshing. There were also tastes of spices that were both spicy and sweet and not very fruity to where I could identify an exact fruit. I did not pair this wine with food, but feel as though it would go well with shell fish.
