Tasting - Cellar 8 Pinot Grigio


Name: Cellar 8 Pinot Grigio
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: California
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2009
Price: $13.00 (VC Closeout Price: $4.95)

Critic ReviewThe 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 had a very different experience with this wine than that of the reviewer.  Smell and taste indicated a bold olive taste.  The wine was very harsh, and the oily aftertaste was very unpleasant.  I would not recommend nor purchase this wine.

I did not taste this wine with food.
