Winery Review: Aromas of white peach, key lime and orange blossom combined with crisp acidity, subtle pear notes and a whisper of melon. Pairs well with appetizers or salads. Anything that is light and refreshing. Best served chilled.It is nicely aromatic in the glass featuring green apple, pear, lemon and a little honeysuckle. It's quite a good start and tasting backs it up. September, 2021

Wine Folly: It is known for its zesty flavor along with the primary flavors being white peach, lemon zest, cantelope, and raw almond. It does not recommend decanting which I did not do and I did serve it chilled which was recommended at a temperature of 45-55 degrees. It did note that you can leave it for 3-5 years but I did drink it right away and it is a bottle of wine with the year 2021. Green apple is also a key note for most pinot grigio's and I definitely tasted that flavor along with pear and peach notes. 

My Review: It definitely was very refreshing and light. I got the pear and peach notes it was very fruity flavored. It was on the sweeter side like the winery review said. I paired it with my tacos for dinner but I think it would have paired better with something lighter and not so heavy. I think it would be great for the summertime since it was so refreshing and light.
