This Pinot Grigio is a crisp wine with notes of jasmine, grapefruit oil, and a touch of passion fruit. It is a lively accompaniment to seafood or any dish that marries well with citrus. Try it with chicken, pork, scaloppini, potatoes au gratin, or eggs benedict. The wine is lightly textured with a refreshing, lemony tang.
Aromas of caramel and vanilla mingle pleasingly on the nose, with a hint of sweet oak. Tropical fruit flavors dominate on the palate – pineapple and green apple mingle seamlessly with hints of brown sugar and butterscotch. The influence of 100% malolactic fermentation lends a creamy, buttery component to the mouthfeel. This well-balanced California Chardonnay finishes with a nice acidity that is perfect on its own or paired with a variety of foods.
Comes down on the rustic side but for the price it's pretty good for a dry Cabernet. Shows the variety's full-bodied fanciness in the blackberry currant cocoa and licorice flavors with a rich steak of vanilla oak. 85 Points Wine Enthusiast Best Buy Producer At Meridian, we believe in producing approachable wines that make the simple moments in life more enjoyable.
