Mission Briefing
Smooth as Silk
Silky, elegant, flavorful, and very delicious, today’s brilliant 2010 Swanson Vineyards Pinot Grigio receives our highest recommendation.
Bright but balanced, this wine is a perfect summer sipper that our whole tasting panel loved. Even those tasting Agents that profess to have little love for PG.
We were so impressed by today’s wine, which, in our opinion, delivers something so much more than does a typical California Pinot Grigio. This wine is so smooth and so tasty that we felt that we were drinking a far more expensive white wine.
Enjoy this lovely wine all on its own, or with a wide variety of spring and summer food pairings.
Tasting Profile
| Look: | Pale golden hues with perfect clarity and pretty glinting edges that catch the light. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | Ripe and sweet with peach and nectarine skins, citrus, pink grapefruit, tangerine blossom, macadamia nut and lemon verbena. |
| Taste: | Tart, sweet and wonderfully balanced. Pronounced, silky flavors of apricot, pear, peach, zingy pineapple, almond, lemongrass and lychee. |
| Finish: | Long and silky with extended apricot and peach. As flavors dwindle, the coating on the palate diminishes first at the mid-palate and then clings on and on at the edges of the palate. |
| Pairing: | Enjoy this silky delicious wine with a spinach salad with strawberry and walnut. |
