Tasting- McManis Pinot Grigio

Name: McManis Pinot Grigio

Variety: Pinot Gris/Grigio

Country: United States

Region: California

Vintage: 2023

Price: $12.95 from Vintage Cellar

Review from Wine Enthusiast: "This wine has nice medium weight and good vivacity. A fun and refreshing palate is filled with a surprising amount of flavors, with lemon, lime, lemongrass, kiwi, star fruit, cut grass, acacia blossom, red and green apple, apple blossom and apple juice. Drink now, on its own, just for fun." -89

Characteristics from Wine Folly: Pink grape mutation of Pinot Noir. Zesty white wine ranging from dry to plain sweet. White peach, lemon zest, cantalope, raw almond, and crushed gravel. Page 149.

Personal Review: Mainly apple flavor up front, slightly acidic grapefruit and lime hints. No lingering aftertaste. Flavors were more dull when served too cold. Warmer temperature brought out acidic flavors. 

I tasted this on its own without food, while watching wine IQ lectures.
