“The subtle and interesting nose of the "Aristos" Pinot Grigio highlights the minerality and fresh apple aromas of this pretty wine. As the wine develops in the glass hints of lemon oil and white flowers emerge and captivate. The palate is medium in body with lees aging giving the wine texture and length. The wine finishs with a solid core of apple and lemon notes with bright acidity.” — 91 Points, Wine Enthusiast “Blistering fresh and lithe with mineral and white pepper aromatics, a rounded, peachy texture and a salty finish.” — 91 Points, Decanter Magazine
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
