Acclaim
“White peaches, lime, freshly cut flowers and mint all jump from the glass in the 2012 Pinot Grigio. Vibrant and crystalline in its purity, the 2012 is full of class and personality, especially in this price range. I would prefer to drink the 2012 over the next year while the flavors are crisp.”
— Antonio Galloni, Jun 2013
“It’s loaded with juicy green apple, white peach and lemon sensations accompanied by a light mineral note. Crisp acidity gives a clean, quenching finish.”
— Wine Enthusiast, Jun 2014
