2020 J Vineyards California Pinot Gris
#34-2023
Labor Day Special! Shrimp on the Barbie and a chilled glass of Pinot Grigio. In this case the Pinot Grigio was the 2020 Pinot Gris from J Vineyards, with shrimp on skewers marinated in a Hawaiian style sauce, and it was wonderful!
This Pinot Gris from J Vineyards is a little dryer in style than most other Pinot Grigio wines. The nose is bright and inviting, and the flavors range from apple to melon, with intermingled bits of peach and citrus leading to a crisp finish. The alcohol content is 13.6% and Norm's score is 91.
This wine is versatile, and would be great in the dining room with lobster, or out on the porch with cheese and fruit. As a refreshing summer beverage, it is a good "back porch sipper", or as we enjoyed it, with a platter of "Shrimp from the Barbie".
score: 91
price : $16 - $20
