Professional Review: Light and clean, which compared to other Argentine Pinot Grigios in not something to dismiss. Feels solid and punchy, with orange and mango flavors. Has nice overall clarity and balance, with a citric finish.
My Review: I got think orange peel on the nose with hints of vegetation. It seemed like I just took a bushel of oranges with the leaves and stems and everything and took a deep breath. I enjoyed it. On the palate, the acids were overpowering. I got hints of grapefruit and orange as well. It was medium bodied and has a great acidic finish. I just wished it wasn't so acdic on the palate. It should help cut through any thick, heavy, fatty food pairings. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
