Tasting - Redwood Creek Pinot Grigio




Redwood Creek
Pinot Grigio
Region/country: California, USA
Year: 2011
Price: $6
With Food?: No.

Review from Liquor Outlet Wine Cellars: Flavors of red apple, peach and pear dominate the Pinot Grigio and hints of ripe citrus add complexity and fruit perception to the wine. The sweetness is well balanced with the acidity to create a clean and crisp finish.

My review: The label on the bottle described this wine as, "a fruity and crisp wine with notes of ripe apricot, Meyer lemon, and pear." The wine definitely was light, but I didn't agree that it was crisp. It wasn't particularly flavorful or tangy. In fact, it tasted like a good wine watered down. It wasn't bad, necessarily; it was easy to drink and I did enjoy it, but it was a dull taste. It would be a good wine for someone who doesn't like sharp tastes.
