Winemaker's description
A dry white wine
with delicate citrus and pear aromas.
Light crisp acidity with apple, pear and fig flavors. A simple yet elegant wine for light hors
d’oeuvres, simply prepared seafood an poultry.
Price: $11.99 at Total Wine
“This has more flavor than most Pinot Grigios,” was
one comment after tasting this nice full-bodied selection. Barboursville’s Pinot Grigio was not as
light as many of the Italian offerings, which was a pleasant surprise. With just the right level of dryness, we
found this to be another Virginia white we don’t hesitate recommending.
This wine has a nice full bouquet, which is pleasant
yet difficult to describe other than to say it smells like a real nice Pinot
Grigio. The finish is dry with a touch
of bite.
Our ratings:
Flavor: 4.25 out of 5 stars – Very Good
Flavor: 4.25 out of 5 stars – Very Good
Not shy, this is a full
flavored wine. It does posses nice
fruit flavors, but is not a fruity wine.
Drinkability/Versatility: 4.5
out of 5 stars – Very Good to Excellent
Unlike other Pinot Grigios,
this will easily stand up to light and even some more hearty entrees. Yet alone, is as enjoyable, if not more so,
than many lighter whites.
Value: 4 out of 5 stars – Very Good
Simply put, this wine was
well worth the money spent..
Overall: 4.25 out of 5 stars –Very Good to Excellent
Serve this at your next
dinner party and watch your guest’s expressions when you tell them that this is
indeed a Virginia wine.
