Tasting - Woodbridge Pinot Grigio




Name: Woodbridge Pinot Grigio

Variety: 100% Pinot Grigio

Region: California  

Country: United States

Year: 2022

Price: $10

Wine Critic Review:  "Pretty aromas of lemon blossoms and Bosc pear meet nicely structured fruit flavors in this light- to medium-bodied wine. Good acidity gives it a refreshing bite on the palate. It's an amazing bargain that gains much of its interest from small amounts of Vermentino, Colombard and Viognier blended in" (Jim Sullivan). 

Wine Folly: pg 149: Pinot Gris (aka Pinot Grigio) is a pink grape mutation of Pinot Noir that’s most famous for its zesty white wines that range in style from dry to just plain sweet.  Pinot Gris makes an excellent pairing with white meats, seafood, and food with a fruit element, such as lemons, oranges, peaches, or apricots.

My Review: Floral aromas with peach dominating the aromatic characteristics. Peach and pear were strong in the taste, with the wine quite light as well with a little bite of acidity.

Would I Buy Again?: No - I thought the flavor was lacking. For the same price (and even cheaper), there are many other wines that I have tried that I'd rather buy.
