Guide To The Best Canned Wines of Summer

GREAT OREGON WINE COMPANY PINOT GRIGIO
The nose is dominated by fruit flavors of bright green melon, ripe pear, and red apple. Honey, stone, and almond notes accent the fresh fruit and add depth to the nose and palate. There is a slight hint of tangerine skin that connects the nose and palate together with a pleasant citrus accent. The palate is bright and lifted with honeydew melon fruit, quince, and star fruit. A touch of stone, lees, and bright acidity drive the refreshing finish. This Pinot Grigio is clean, fresh, bright and zippy.
