Wines of FreshDirect: A Pinot Grigio Yawner

Posted by Eric Hazard | No Comments

Looking for a wine that has as much personality as Ben Stein on Xanax? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Then please allow me up front to apologize for the 36 seconds of your life you’ll give up to read about a boring Pinot Grigio.

Winery: Santa Sulva
Grape: Pinot Grigio
Region: Argentina
Year: 2006

Source: FreshDirect.com
Price: $10

Color: Straw

Nose: Light hints of lime, wildflowers and honey. The scents are hard to detect as the bouquet is not very aromatic.

Taste: The wine is sweet up front, though the sweet flavors are not really distinguished. I picked up melon, lime and tart berry during my tasting. The light bodied wine finished abruptly, leaving tart fruit.

What I like: The wine is easy to drink. Not much else to say in that category.

What I don’t like: The wine is uninteresting and it is just kind of there. It is nothing to get excited about.
