Mirassou Pinot Grigio 2009

With 150 years of family winemaking behind him, David Mirassou, says his winemakers “gently guide” the wines to keep natural, fresh flavors in the bottle. Here is a good example. By blending grapes from the Central Coast and the Russian River Valley, the winemakers got both ripeness and nice acidity in this Pinot Grigio. A little Sauvignon Blanc picks up the citrus notes.

Very refreshing. Lively lemon, lime and peach flavors. A bit of California sunshine in the bottle.
