2006 Luna Vineyards Pinot Grigio
Late harvest means long hang times on the vines and that results in extreme fruit flavors. This Pinot Grigio is no exception. With peach, pear, pineapple and apricot notes and a perfect balance of acidity and sugars at harvest time, this wine is a steal at $18/btl. Talk about Quality to Price Ratios! I highly recommend this wine. Luna produced 36,000 total cases of Pinot Grigio and you should be able to purchase it at your favorite wine store. Order it online if not available, but check with the winery first to see if you are in an approved shipping state - http://www.lunavineyards.com/ - and let them know you heard about this wine from My Personal Wine Taster.com
This wine was 50% barrel fermented in French Oak and 50% stainless steel. Fermentation lasted about a month and 30% of the juice was subject to maloactic secondary fermentation to add texture to the wine. The wine was blended with 5% Chardonnay and bottled in April 2007.
A special thanks to assitant tasting room manager, Jeff Dennis for allowing me to revisit this wine!
