James Suckling: It's a little close on the nose but the palate shows a lovely liveliness. Notes of mandarines and apricots on the palate. Round and tense. Medium sweet.

Wine Enthusiast: Break out the hors d'oeuvres for this tart young Pinot Grigio. It needs food to balance it out. The acid-backed flavors are savory, and include Meyer lemons, limes, lemongrass...
