ROSE "N" BLUM Pinot Grigio San Jauquin County California 2011

A pale wheat color displays in your glass that is consistent to the rim.  On the nose the wine offers pronounced ripe peach with orange.orange rind along with some sweet floral notes in the background.  These aromas probably are due to the 20% Muscat in the blend.  On the palate the wine is dry, but has a slight hint of sweetness that is not enough to describe as off-dry.  It is light-bodied with mouth-watering acidity.  The flavors are low to almost medium intensity of pineapple/citrus and the ripe peach and orange.  The finish is clean with a medium length of lingering peach, orange and citrus seeming to be of medium intensity.  It would seem the citrus qualities are from the Pinot Gris/Grigio and the ripe peach from the Muscat.

Wine & Food:  Serve chilled between 45F to 50F.  As an aperitif or informal light summer meals such as vegetable salads with balsamic vinegar garnished with chicken, seafood or shellfish or the entree of chicken, seafood or shellfish. Cuisine seasoned with "hot" and "spicy" from Thailand or Mexico.

Approximate Retail Price: US12.00
