Winery review:
Where the Chardonnay’s fruit flavors really held its own without the oak, and the Pinot Noir shined with the stainless steel fermentation, the Pinot Grigio tasted almost too light. There’s little fruit, a bit of sweetness, but nothing to hold it all together. The result is a wine that tastes a bit unrefined and uninteresting. A splash in a used American oak barrel would have probably done this some good, but that’s against the brand’s concept.
The Naked Grape Pinot Grigio
Description: Light and uninteresting, too naked.
Score: 82/100
My review:
I did not like this wine very much at all. It tastes like sour, rotten pears. As odd as it sounds, I think this wine smells like the color green. I think the sour aromas of this wine are too strong and they feel pinchy in my nose. It has rustic earthy tastes, and a horrible sour aftertaste.
Food or no food:
I did not have this wine with food.
