Tasting- Cellar 8 Pinot Grigio


Name:  Cellar 8 Pinot Grigio
Variety:  Pinot Grigio
Region:  Napa Valley, California
Country:  United States
Year:  2009
Price:  $13 (sale: $4.95)
Shop Review:  The Cellar No. 8 Pinot Grigio opens with aromas of honeysuckle flowers, white peach and fresh pineapple. This refreshing wine exudes flavors of melon, honey and lemon zest. Subtle hints of spice lead to a crisp, clean finish. A perfect accompaniment to Chinese take-out, or served as an aperitif.
My Review:  I enjoyed this wine.  It had a light, citrusy smell.  The taste was smooth with hints of pineapple and lime.  There was a slight heat at the end, but not a bad heat.  Probably one of the better wines I tried at this tasting. 

I tried this wine without food.
