* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Hints of almond paste and nectarine on the nose are followed by clean, fruity flavors of stone fruits, oranges, and grapefruit. A bit low in acidity, but user-friendly, with notes of almond reprising on the finish.

This is a lean and thin wine with a luminous, transparent appearance and measured aromas of cut grass, citrus, mineral and peppermint. The wine is tonic and lightweight with a sharp point of fresh crispness at the close.

There’s a copperish tinge to the color and although the nose is not intense, it does deliver clear notes of pear, pineapple, chamomile and chopped basil or mint. The lower alcohol helps it go down easily. Imported by Laird & Company.

This is a distinctive Chardonnay that offers a curious balance between herbal and mineral tones with fleshy fruity tones in between. The nose is unique and you’ll recognize vanilla bean, melon and natural rubber.

Honey and stone fruit are at the aromatic forefront of this easy, light-hearted Pinot Grigio. The wine is lean and watery in the mouth and finishes short.

Dried herbs, grass and hay with some pear, apple skin and crushed stone sums up the nose. The mouth delivers less excitement; a sour note interrupts what would otherwise be a smoother ride. Imported by Laird & Company.

Exactly what you want in a mainstream Pinot Grigio; light crisp and refreshing. The tart citrus flavors show some minerality, which adds a bit of complexity to this clean-finishing, drink-on-its-own wine.

A brilliant, pale straw-yellow color is an indication of the freshness of this wine. Tropical aromas of mangos and bananas start with flavors of citrus and a sharp but not overpowering acidity finishing. A nonmalolactic, simple yet pleasant Chardonnay. Best Buy.
