Takutai Pinot Gris 2009
Nelson, New Zealand
Regular Price: $21
Sale Price: $6.95
Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: "Since this wine weighs in at 14%, the fruit was clearly very ripe. That ripeness is reflected in the flavors as well, which feature nectarine and honey accented by hints of white pepper. It’s full bodied and lush, with a long finish that mingles the sensations of sweet and spicy."
I loved this wine!! May be my favorite of any tastings this semester, but definitely my favorite white. It was also my first of the Pinot Gris varietal, so I am excited to try others. Bold and full like Chardonnay, this wine really caught my attention. Its high ABV was a surprise to me as it was less acidic than the Sauvingnon Blanc. With its pear scent and beautiful oakiness, I could not resist this wine. This was my purchase of the week and at 33% of its original price, I will be back for more!
