2009 Two Lads Pinot Grigio

This retails for $16 at the winery.

Pear and vanilla on the nose.

Solid acid, a touch of sugar, golden pear, green apple, even a bit of green grape, with a bit of vanilla, and even some tropical fruit - mango perhaps.

A solid length to the finish with pear and apple at first fading - way off in the distance - to pineapple.

Pinot Grigio is a tough wine to describe because most of them taste similar, the differences between a good and a great one is in finesse and subtleties. I like this one a lot, I think I may have liked the 2008 a bit more, but regardless I'll probably be buying a fair amount of this next time we're in the tasting room.

Score: 90
