Bargetto Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Grigio
2005
This year’s wine displays floral and citrus
aromas. The citrus note translates to grapefruit
flavor with green apple and mineral tones. |

Bargetto Pinot Grigio 2005
This Pinot Grigio has floral and citrus aromas
which are also apparent in the mouth. There are
pear and green apple flavors with hints of Seville
orange and cinnamon spice. |

St. Innocent Vitae Springs Pinot Gris 2005
Has
an intensely spicy nose with orange peel and
citrus notes. That spiciness continues into the
mouth with pear, apple and citrus flavors. It
is very textural in the mouth. Completely dry,
it is a great match for Asian-influenced foods,
appetizers, and fish entrees. |

Terlato Vineyards 2005 Pinot Grigio
Pale gold, with fresh melon, pear and stone fruit
on the nose. Taste is fresh and balanced, nice
weight in mid-palate, lively acidity and crisp,
long
finish. Will pair
well with a variety of foods. |

Clean, fresh aromas and soft appley fruit flavors.
This refreshing Pinot Grigio from Northern
Italy
has character
and style well beyond its modest price tag. |

Honea Vineyard Pinot Grigio 2005
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. |

Palmina Alisos Vineyard Pinot Grigio 2005
The light flaxen color shines through the glass
like polished 10K gold. White peach and Crenshaw
melon aromas mingle with a stony minerality.
On the palate, a rich and silky creaminess then
burst forth with a lively acidity. Intense citrus
notes of meyer lemon, orange peel and pomelo
lead to somewhat tropical notes of curacao and
kumquat. A persistent finish of lemon-lime lingers
with a hint of spicy clove and a lasting impression
of intrigue. |
