Acclaim
Tiefenbrunner is an old reliable when it comes to Pinot Grigio, and its 2000 is no exception. Pear and citrus are the flavors. The palate is well balanced and the mouthfeel round and smooth. Vibrant acidity accentuates the long, fruity finish.
— Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2001
World's Greatest Wine Values - [F]ruity, crisp, and appealing. The light-bodied, straightforward, lemony 2000 Pinot Grigio reveals a hint of almonds and orange blossoms.
